This new annual thread has been carved out of the previous thread in an effort to reduce the number of megathreads on the AC forum. For those interested the original 2004 - 2014 thread on the topic may be found here.
That original thread started by accident but quickly became a popular place to come and discuss off topic things such as hockey, new movies, or almost anything that wouldn't fit into existing AC forum threads. More Air Canada or Aeroplan topics such as flight feedback, in-flight services issues or mileage earning/redemption are all topics that should go into existing AC forum threads so others can benefit from this information. Topics about other airline/hotel loyalty programs should be posted elsewhere on FT.
While the conversation is more relaxed as it would be in a lounge that doesn't mean however that the FT rules don't apply her as they definitely do so please refrain from controversial topics such as politics or religion, avoid profanities and treat other lounge patrons with the same respect you expect.

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh~~~!!!
(although, I would have said "she could always make your stick bigger")
Was this during the lightning storm? It was pretty intense.
My "sources" tell me that YUL was a complete mess this pas few days with all the delays, and everyone was playing catch up for a while.
You know that feces are hitting the fan when the departures board show 10+ flight leaving after midnight at YUL.
Looks Maradori does not live on a one-way street LOL
Online reservation - EIGO~!
Hope you're not planning to go for re election LOL

I was in YUL, there was a WX event, I'd been waiting for 3 hours+ at this point. I found some AC agents that had just finished boarding a flight (they were very thin on the ground with hundreds of pissed off PAX, so they made themselves scarce). I walked up to the two agents and said I wanted to be rebooked for tomorrow and have AC give me a hotel. "Why would we give you a hotel? We're busy go away and wait like everyone else." [...]

I was. SAP's comment implied that the WiFi equipment didn't exist. Painting the logo on without the equipment being on board seems like an AC thing to do.
Are you saying that on your UA flight, the WiFi didn't work (which happens from time to time) or that the equipment wasn't there?

The same way I've seen posts like "There was no IFE on my flight".
Comments like that are why I refuse to talk about so many things on the internet.

Oh, uhh, side tangent. Just started watching the Silicon Valley TV show. Just starting Season 1. Pretty cool show. If people are bored and don't know what to watch, I would suggest that 
They rip off so much crap though. The offices are essentially the ones from Google. They rip off something else in that TV show that are essentially exactly like what my employer uses. Like, wow. Original?
But anyways, it's no House of Cards, but it's something to watch while Big Bang is off air
Oh Penny how I miss you, even with your ridiculous short hair

Of course would only happen in America. I bet it was that Cecil-killing dentist that did it. You know - "taking of the robot" for bits and kickles.
They should've put the bot in Japan - they would try to fix it or enhance/upgrade it instead of destroying it.

How do I find out when the occasional widebody (that is NOT a HD) is used for a YVR YYZ redeye (typically 156)?
