Ken: Glad you have a *much* better time than me in LAX. I think my problems where three-fold. First, I had never been to LAX before and really had no idea where I was going in the terminals. Second, it was US spring break and most flights were packed. Third, I think I just generally had bad luck.
I'm still hoping to go on some sort of "mass MHD" in May sometime with fellow FlyerTalkers. I think I'll be much better prepared the second time!

Ken and others who habitually fly in Executive First or Executive Class cabins, are you aware:
There is a form in our possession called "Onboard Compensation". This form should be presented voluntarily by a flight crew member to compensate for the following.
Seat (an operation is not functional and the person cannot be moved); personal television unserviceable; audio or reading light unserviceable. These particular "offences" entitle you to a $100.00 travel voucher or 3,000 Aeroplan miles if this form is completed and submitted.
SPML (noted on manifest but not boarded); shortage of meals (a few exceptions listed) entitle you to a $50.00 travel voucher or 1,500 Aeroplan miles, again, if the form is completed and submitted.
The pledge is that the value of the compensation chosen will be provided within 20 days of your flight experience - voucher or credit, whichever you choose.
Are you people aware of this?

I think if Ken doesn't know, then A Flygirl must be the only employee using them!
On my recent A330 flight, two people in the row ahead had inoperable in-seat video (seat C and seat G I think, each to the left of an aisle anyway).
Both were given personal video players instead, but I didn't hear anything about an offer of compensation. (It may also explain why on the YOW-LHR flight we just watched the big screen and didn't have personal video -- AC taking them off the CP metal to use as backup on their own?).

It's dead. But when it wasn't, it was a way to avoid the high cost of transcon Canadian flights by taking a routing via MEX. It was cheaper to fly J e.g YOW-YVR-MEX and back than YOW-YVR in Y.
