Walk to a quiet corner of the lounge. Around a corner, no one visible, have my chat there. Am I doing it right?

Last night I had my first experience in the YYZ Signature Suite a la carte "restaurant" negatively impacted by the woman who spent 15 minutes loudly explaining to her (presumably) children how to feed the dogs while she was away ('...take the beef out of freezer and run it under warm water..."). Kind of detracted from the higher-end cuisine that Air Canada were providing to me at the time. Unfortunately, there didn't seem to be a policy about the use of communication devices in that section of the lounge. I mean, it's not McDonalds, people. Other people are actually trying to enjoy a half decent meal.

If it sounds, to someone who is in the area, like you're having a quiet conversation with a person next to you, then yes.
If conditions, or your equipment, do not permit that, then nope.

A better passenger class does not necessarily mean a better class of passenger.

I get progressively more philosophical as the week goes on.

I was in a very quiet YHZ MLL and had a call, as I didn't want everyone listening in, I stood up, walked away from the area where there were 3-4 of us, and asked the caller to call me back later.
Same thing if I'm in a restaurant or on the TTC. I have taken calls on the brief Go before (not on the top deck); but always make an effort to keep it quiet and if I'm video calling use a pair of earphones.

No, pick the seat next to yyznomad.

I would make sure to unleash my comfort Pet Peever on him. Pet Peever, attack!

And then regress to grunting and pointing every Monday.

That's monosyllabic grunting and pointing I'll have you know.

Half decent meal was better than than the meal served on board...the service was pretty impressive, and the overall experience was great. Pity there are some people who seem to feel that paying for a J seat entitles them to behave like that, as it was the only negative aspect of the Suite.
