Not only will you get a complete breakdown, but it also shows how many AC R seats there are - which I thought was a closely guarded secret from AC elites?
Eearnings for a one way ticket in P class - 12342 redeemable miles, 4170 premier qualifying miles.
Do Aeroplan earnings even come close to these for SE?
On AC metal ffs.
What premium flyer in their right mind would ever credit to Aeroplan?

For those of you who are exploring, make sure to run United in expert mode - you are able to see availability by class for all your flights, including R space to use RPU/GPUs unlike AC where you have to pay double for just a lottery of an upgrade.

Yet another limitation of AC, who by their own admission, believe that AC pax cannot handle transparency.

Sometimes I pig out in the MLL because I am not willing to assume that I will get the last J seat. I blame AC for getting me chubby bubbly fubbly smubbly pubbly.

Although I am usually #1 on the waitlist (high fare, S100K, 2MM), I still find the whole opaqueness thing annoying as hell.

What did AC/AE/Jazz/Air Georgian/BenS/BenL/Calin/FT.....me do that has you continually suggesting you "should look elsewhere?" I tried to PM you, your mailbox is always full.

I don't think you're fit to judge that either, given that neither you - or apparently AC based on my requests - know how much I spent on them, or how much business I brought. We have lots of lounge-hopping discussion here as well, of people switching between MLL and PP at YYZ - very common thing to do. You can't judge a lounge until you're inside and can see what it offers.
