AC back to normal
Just came off the ICN-YVR flight--now consider that my views are quite jaded as I had just done two successive flights on SQ before getting on AC-- but I found the service efficient but cold and impersonal (Thales was off for a little while and had to be reset). Also got downgraded to AC Basic on the BP!! So all in all we are back to normal. (maybe if I had been on Egypt air before AC my views would have been different!!)

That's funny, last week I did SQ ICN-SFO, then AC SFO-YYZ.
My original ( SQ issued) BP for the AC flight had AC *G notation, but AC staff in
SFO re-issued the BP when I re-checked my luggage, and it had the AC-A notation.
I brought it back to her, she did something in the computer, and re-issued it again with
the usual SE notation.

LOL i have given up years ago of AC being in any comparison to SQ
However AC does try to compete with American airlines and I guess its doing a good job of that. Now AC FF program has given up trying to compete with American airlines, they seem to think the border lets them live in a cocoon.

My SQ flight to SIN in F was actually a bit disappointing, satay and no caviar...food decent but not whatbi remember, Krug fantastic as always. Not sure what happened to their pjs. Followed by a three hr business class seat on SQ had me almost missing AC!

I flew YVR to ICN last week, and I was thinking that the food (albeit a tad under done) was so much better than the AC long haul domestic flights. They also seem to have brought back grand marnier which I sometimes need...and subsequently slept almost to landing.
