Most of not all of Rouge crews are young and chit chat! OMG I have learned more about these young peoples love lives than I care for. Yes some of these F/A are cute, but they seem to struggle with there relationships. Flew HNL-YVR last month and two of these nice young ladies "cant find" decent men who want commitment around their schedules???? It's like a soap opera!

Should have been more clear. Sorry. 100,000 miles was the total for 2 of us. The mention of 75,000 miles was my attempt to imply the value of these flights was nowhere near 100,000 Aeroplan miles but rather, at best, 75,000 miles. Was trying to express disappointment that 100,000 miles on Rouge does not compare favourably with 100,000 miles on mainline. And that double standard is not fair!

Flying back of the bus on AC 1810 tomorrow for first time flying rouge tomorrow. Will report back on the experience.... I can only anticipate what to expect.

So, out of curiosity I decided to book my first rouge flight (in Y), YYC-YHZ and am looking for confirmation about the IFE for my upcoming flight.
The rouge website, under "entertainment" states:
Within the Apple app there is an information section for player. Part of what is there states:
From what I can tell, the website makes no mention about a need to pay for content (I know that when rouge first launched content wasn't free). Within the app there is a mention of a need to pay, however the information within the app appears to be dated (it references that Android isn't supported even though the website says otherwise).
So, my questions are as follows:
Also, for mainline the Air Canada website has the enRoute section where you can see what selections will be available on upcoming flights. Is there any similar information for rouge where I can find out what will be playing? I want to find out if there is decent content on rouge or if I need to look at downloading some new movies to enjoy during the flight.
The rouge website, under "entertainment" states:
Download the free Air Canada app from the Apple App store on your personal Apple iPhone, iPad or iPod touch before boarding to access our inflight entertainment system player where you can tune into the latest movies, TV shows, special kids’ programming, music playlists and destination information. Laptop users can access player too – just install Adobe Flash Player. You can now access player on your Android device by downloading the app on the Google Play store before you take off.
player is available for your laptop, iPod, iPhone, iPod touch and for Android devices. Not bringing a device or forgot to pack one in your carry-on bag? No problem. We have a number of iPads preloaded with extra content that you can rent for only $10.
Make sure you pack your headphones and device in your carry-on bag. Onboard power is offered on select aircraft so be sure to charge up your devices before flying to catch every last minute of that hit movie or your favourite TV show. Download the free Air Canada app for your Android device or Apple iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

…
You may be able to access player with Android devices, but you won't be able to access movies or TV content, only music and destination content. Android content is expected very soon.
…
Do I have to pay to access the content on player?
To access movie and the content, there will be a low all-access fee. Once you pay, you can watch as many movies and the shows as you want. Music, destination and other content is free for all. For those traveling in Premium rouge, please ask a flight attendant for a complimentary access code.
Can I access the same content on different flights?
Yes, but you won't be able to carry over your session from a previous flight. Pay once per flight, pay twice per two flights. The math gets complicated after that.

There were going to charge for this, but pretty sure the plans were scraped after all the initial backlash with rouge. It used to say so on their web site, but even now the only mention of cost is the iPad rental for $10. So as long as you have your own device, pretty sure you're ok.

I would love to see this feature (no recline) on Rouge though, makes sense with the limited pitch.

Forgive me for this, but why should I on a 319 in row 4 not be able to recline? I'm happy to not be focused on $ spend like the rest of the plane. If they want airfare to go the way of greyhound so be it but I want to recline. Following this premise should J not be able to recline too??

Remember, reclining with small pitch is only a bad thing if the person behind you doesn't recline, too. If everybody reclines, then the pitch is the same as when the seat was upright.
Instead of removing recline, AC should consider a true enhancement to rouge: a reasonable pitch. Barring that, a system should be installed which prevents recline during meal service

Perhaps they should just reconfigure the aircraft so that happens automatically. Person in row x seat Y reclines => all seats in row x+n seat Y automatically recline by the same amount at the same time (where n > 0)

A colleague flew on ACr 1868 YYZ-MCO last evening. As E50K he had got himself a seat in row 18 which is the exit row (preferred seating).
Since he was in an exit row he was surprised to be personally told by the FAs to put his carry on under the seat in front of him rather than in the overhead bin.
Is is not a Transport Canada requirement to prohibit this?
