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.

I promise you this will be a good surprise. I don't promise things usually, but this one is a sincere promise.
This morning? I went back to work. I stared at my frigging bag and what would have taken me 5 minutes to pack took me over an hour. I just couldn't do it.
I'm broken, shattered, and now posting this from a frigging hotel. If FT rules allowed me to swear, I would.
I can't do this anymore. I just can't. Depressing as this may be, the things that kept me going?
Mrs. SAP. A few other FTers on my flight and for dinner tonight and the fact that (as i just noticed for the first time b/c it's not winter). The women here just...
Blow.My.Mind.

People here go "oh feel so sorry for you yyznomad etc etc"
But most don't get it. I enjoy doing the travel and I know people in almost every city I go to. If I had a facebook page, I would be the ultimate narc and post a million pictures... but oh wait... I don't and I'm not.
I say make the best of it... or, find a new job

I don't know how you do it. I just don't. It floors me. Dude, I have my own room at most hotels I stay at in Canada.
I dunno. I miss Mrs. SAP. I miss a normal life. But I do LOVE meeting other FTers. So give and take, but I'm sorta done with this job. Love the employer, don't love this garbage though.
But if you think about it, we would have never met if the circumstances were different

Because that's ok.
PS: SAP. Please. Today was your first day back at work, and I am sure it was the best "back to work" day you will have for a while!

I would, but this is my last sane and impartial post. With my next message I agree to conform to the rules of the AC FT 10k club.
I will berate any newbie poster with less that 500 posts with condescending remarks about their uselessness to the forum.
I will treat anyone who disagrees with me as crap and tell them they are wrong, even when they make valid and logical arguments.
I will in no way support Air Canada or suggest that they are ever a good choice to fly or that Altitude is ever a good choice of frequent flyer programs.
I will immediately and with a vengeance crash down upon anyone who has anything positive to say about AC.
I will treat anyone as an imbecile who flies AC using their own money.
It’s been fun.
