So I'm curious what it would actually take.

Maybe if the word "allegedly" was removed from the sentence and all of those things happened (not just some of those things).

Well it's no different than any report in this thread, or the incidents one. It's all alleged.

I'm trying to imagine what it would be like, to be on a flight like that.

Wow. Clearly everyone involved should be banned.

There is a couple on my flight in J right now that are cuddling together in the same J pod. I know AC pods are not great for couples travelling but holy $&*%. If they weren't being loud as hell and one didn't have their legs hanging out in the aisle on top of it all I'd have less of an issue with it, but come on.

I really wanted to ask the couple lying in 4G on AC 118. One of them was petting the other. I don't think they noticed they weren't alone in the cabin. I have no idea how they managed the angled-lie-flat position they were in. Maybe it's a hidden feature of those AC J seats. Super weird though.

Apologies, but my beloved has really been on me about wanting a 78th child and we spend so little time together...

Frankly, this is way better than those fellow travellers that insist on NOT using a waist belt to hold up their pants, and then bending over and having their backside exposed...too much
My bad.... I must have lost the belt going through security!! 😀

Overheard chatty pax and geographically-challenged pax....

”I have a tight connection to Windsor”

”Oh, I used to hang out near there.... in Kingston”

I am trying to think is there a Windsor somewhere in Kingston. Both Windsor and Kingston are popular names, so they may not be talking about YQG and YGK.

Only because they stopped teaching geography in schools in some provinces. In the 80's IIRC.

And then, there is also Windsor, Quebec - " a town of 5,300 people, part of the Le Val-Saint-François Regional County"

Does AC fly there?

Kingston, NS is about 75 km from Windsor, NS. Air Canada certainly does not fly to either.
