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.

Wait, this actually happens? If R inventory opens up, and you are waitlisted, the system will automatically upgrade you? Where have I been? I thought that you have to unupgrade yourself and then reupgrade yourself?
If so, this is cool and I clearly have missed something!!
If so, this is cool and I clearly have missed something!!The R opening up and doing a DIY against my waitlist booking happens when R becomes 1 from 0.
This time, R went from 0 to 7 or more just like that.
But I am on a Latitude booking and P was 0 at the time of booking. Now even after my silent upgrade P is 8. I was the third person with a confirmed seat assignment on a flight that was P0R0 for months. I guess AC realized that they weren't going to be anywhere near selling out the J cabin in the coming week.

Wander over, tell him you can hear the soundtrack from...., ask him if he minds if you can "enjoy" the video too, and ask him to move over and make room. If he looks confused, stare.

Has anyone seen/heard from Mr. Leblond lately? He's been gone a long time. Does anyone know if he's ok or just on vacation/work?
