Members of Parliament will be giving up their first-class tickets on short-haul flights like the popular Ottawa-Toronto leg. Now only flights over two hours will qualify for first-class privileges at taxpayers’ expense. The frequent flyers will also be forced to look for bargains. Except for long flights to their ridings, MPs will only be allowed to purchase flights at Air Canada’s “Tango Plus” fare class, which is the second cheapest of five available options.
If I were Lisa Raitt, now that I have to fly in Y, I would pay attention to my seat assignments ... lest some disgruntled AC employee re-seats me in a middle seat, last row/no-recline... with ma' kettles clapping on landing (we know Lisa is not a big fan of applause :p )

On the other hand this is a golden opportunity for Porter and WS to sweeten their offerings and get a slice of the MPs' short-haul travel budgets...

first-class tickets on AC? maybe AC has a special rez system for MPs where F fares maps into J (just like how Z fare maps into Y for SQ)

Lisa won't be happy when FAs move fellow employees from Y to J while she's in the back

I'd take that entire crew out for dinner if I saw that happen on my flight. Especially if it happened to Lisa Raitt.
