rouge A321 configuration
Did not see this posted yet, but the rouge A321 configuration is on AC.com now - 16J/184Y: http://www.aircanada.com/en/about/fl...-200rouge.html
I'm surprised at 16J considering mainline is only at 14J. I was expecting 12J to be consistent with the 319s. A little disappointed that there are not more rouge plus seats.

I'd hoped that they'd do the (better) Rouge 763 seat pitch. I'm shocked that there replicating the 319 experience.

So 37 people happy, and 163 with banged up knees.
I guess we can look forward to more reports from the west coast about how great Rouge is from people who only sit in J or preferred seats, and disregard 82% of the cabin suffering in silencesilence
Also, PTY is getting rouged?
Were we not told by our resident AC staff that this was a route with lots of business traffic

I'm even more concerned that they're putting Y class at 29" ... which seems to signal that AC's "treat Rouge customers like garbage and hope they'll tolerate it" strategy continues.

I'm guessing that December 2016 start date for YULFLL is a typo if YYZFLL is starting October 2015.
TPA is going 2x763 per day, I'm betting AC will put the Rouge 763s on FLL and have no trouble filling them.
Side note, the only Rouge A321 route I can see so far is YYZSRQ.

Wow ... Not long ago a few of us were lectured by the Barbadian tourism gang on here how high yielding BGI is and it would never be Rouged ... All the banking/wealth/asset holdings, blah blah blah
Indeed,
Rouge flight # 1604, 1606 are YULFLL in December
Look for 763s and 321s on YULFLL.

Fair point, though the current / new 319 Rouge aircrafts have proper J seats, so presumably pax who're willing to pay for J (or Lat fares) would now be more likely to book AC again / are less likely to book another airline.
