Thanks to the OP! From me and several friends.
I have ticket numbers!
Does AE yield management saturdays? Or will this be on until monday?
This doesn't appear to work for short haul.
Remember DON'T call them.
And when they call you DON'T give in!

There also seems to be quite a bit inventory available, or is it just me.
For example, for fun & giggles, I did a dummy booking for 5 (!) to a few European cities (FCO, VIE, AMS...) in late June to early July, requested J/F and got back decent option at 60,000 a piece. Now, J/F was usually only available on the intra-continental flights and not the TATL legs - if there was space for 5 in J, I'd fall off my chair. I won't mention the fees, because, then, I did fall off my chair: $560 pp x 5 pax = $$$$. But, hey! I'd redeem points and the YQ++ is still less than half that a paid fare on AC would cost, same dates (did side-by-side dummy bookings).

A hundred or so tix they can write off after firing a few IT monkeys, but if Americans start converting MR points en masse they will definitely push back.

I'm currently dealing with the fallout of the KE fiasco (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/milea...560-ai-16.html Start from #637 if you are unfamiliar) and I really hope this doesn't go down the same way.
If Aeroplan decides to cancel/refund, they had better not wait two months and consult lawyers and regulatory agencies before contacting the customers!

Thanks to the OP for the find, and for keeping the thread somewhat low profile
