Tried to sign in (out of curiosity mostly) ... despite choosing one of their usernames, an error message to the effect that it was missing stopped me from completing the process. Being only mildly invested (really - the badges was the only thing that upped my interest), I left it at that.
I await others' impressions ...

What they won't do is go to some puff piece forum that has no freedom to really discuss anything, silly little badges, and is designed for only one reason (data mining their customers).
Who, in a million years, thought this was cost justifiable? If anything, this is even more colossally stupid than the changes to Altitude for 2015, and I think my opinion on that is pretty clear.

Love the person who is sucking up with AC - listing the "Best Frequent Flyer Programs" in Toronto, with AC at the top of the list.

Nah, I didn't forget IBM. I just liked the way it sounded when it popped into my head "beta, broken and AC - all on one page of a new thread"
To paraphrase (loosely) what many of you have said:
Fix the things that need fixing, stop playing around with reinventing the wheel.
You can start here, for eg.
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/air-c...seem-like.html
and then maybe here

Looks like all the current members are AC. Arjun Basu is involved with EnRoute.
LOL. It's going to be a place where they are going to play with themselves!
Why would anyone think that customers would want to be part of a social community of an airline that seems to be at war with its' customers?
I appreciate the effort of Ben Lipsey to make a return here and at least take a shot at engaging with real customers.
This kind of thing just makes me laugh, and also, just, well in shock at how idiotic it is.
And Ben Lipsey et al know who I am.

I guess might as well do the Early Adopter badge to get 1000 points, but I think that's all I'm going to contribute.
I think when you create a list that is "in the world" type, that the system doesn't let you publish. BROKE IT!

From from from...
"From what Air Canada Altitude tier group would you like to get recommendations from?"
I'd like to suggest they need one more "from" in that sentence just to make a lucky trio!
It also fails with a "Please enter your username" message even after a user name is entered.

A brief thanks to all of you who caused me to LOLOLOL. More than once.
I have given up trying to clean the drink spills off the keyboard and will now go have a drink. And switch to spare keyboard
The Altitude Community Comedy Show continues.....
