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.

There is a reason why US airlines recently went to revenue based RDM.
I can assure you that many in FT fly like cow.
e.g. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/milea...miles-ish.html
PS: cow did you see the pic I posted about you and penguin?

But I've booked 788 flights a few days out where as a SE on a Y fare, there were no preferred seats open.

Also I don't really read OMNI. I browsed it for a day when SAP said my name came up, but that was it.

Next time I'm flying to Europe I'm doing YVR-SAO-DXB-LHR, because I'm sure that's basically the same price as YVR-LHR, too.

Why do they constantly blare music (non-stop, I might add) at Japanese Professional League baseball games? The cheese factor only lasts so long...!

Yup, work and yup, Eewnited.
There's actually one (or two) SFO-PHX nonstops on UA. Works out to an ok timing too (something like depart SFO 8:50am, arrive PHX 10:30am).
and shhhhh you're making me lose my mystique factor. If people ask where I work, the correct response is "a tech company located in Sillycon Valley that starts with G................. o....................."

Extend DOs in different cities to applying your hobbies to different cities... every city has a group that does "X" or "Y" or "Z" and it's a great way to meet people with the same passions.
