The market fares on these routes are not high enough to sustain mainline product/costs forcing us to decrease capacity or completely withdraw.
The 777HD and rouge will help position us to regain a sustainable position in these markets.
YUL-CDG we were the #3 or #4 player depending on month
YVR-Hawaii we went from majority share to minority share
YVR-California same as above
LAS MCO PHX same as above
Cuba Dominican Republic Mexico same as above

I will offer you CAD $1000 for your right to lifetime E50k. Offer conditional only on Ben Smith approving this one time transaction.
Do you think I have priced the offer too low? If so, what is your counter offer? How much is your lifetime E50k million miler status worth to you?

A little late to the party, but congrats Ben ^
We all know it won't be easy, but I for one absolutely appreciate your efforts and participation. Cheers

YYC question for the Bens:
With the new intl / TB terminal opening next year, any word as to whether we'll get a MLL in both the TB and intl concourses?
Heard there were ongoing negotiations with the YYCAA but wondered if there were any concrete decisions?

My translation was off on this one... so it means it could go in the 36-40 range for example.

Give me a break!
I wasn't suggesting it's not worthy. I suggest that if you fly MM lifetime you deserve full Gold status in both Domestic and Internationally. E75 has a higher status Internationally(where most of my travel goes). Although it's the 2MM plateau that truly needs changing.
P.S I will take a case of 1945 Chateau Mouton Rothschild in OWC.

Is there a link to where the benefits of MM and 2MM are defined? I cannot seem to find anything.

Another question for Ben on upgrades.
Why are passengers on the same PNR not processed together at the gate? I'm travelling with my wife today and I'm told that my chances look good but hers are iffy as there are a couple of E50's in front of her. I'm SE travelling on the same PNR and we have the same last name.

The YYC Airport is putting an addition onto the current terminal that will result in larger sterile corridor place infront of the current small sterile corridor. On the Concourse A side, the expanded sterile corridor is to go right through the current domestic MLL.
If you look outside the Banff Hall food court area you can see the pilons being constructed for the new sterile corridor. Also the departures level Tim Hortons has been ripped out. My guestimate is that Concourse A security will be expanded into the Tim Horton's location in order to provide an adequate set back to allow for the sterile corridor that will stretch from concourse D through to the International concourse.

He never said that, I think he is just saying there won't be a big drop.
Quoted by Ben
On the refurbishment of our initial 18 77W/77L aircraft I can tell you the following:
Business Class will be our improved and advanced POD which will debut on our 788/789 fleet - the number of seats will not materially change vs what we offer today on those 18 aircraft

The bigger question WRT the YYC MLL is what will happen to the domestic MLL.

I fly to Berlin 3 times per year, and would quite possibly be inclined to purchase an appropriate flight pass to do this IF I could use it! Terminating in MUC, FRA or ZRH is not attractive at all for me.
No doubt you could figure out an arrangement with LH, 4U or LX to take customer that one extra hop, no? I could imagine that lots of people here would be takers if you could add on a domestic segment within the country to which AC takes you. It's not like the fare to TXL is usually different from that to FRA or MUC in the first place.
