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 previous versions are the
original 2004 - 2014 thread and the 2015 edition
The 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 hotels or airlines and/or their 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.

What I'm about to tell you is top secret.
A conspiracy bigger than all of us.
There's a powerful group of people out there that are secretly running the world on private, exclusive email threads about AC.
I'm talking about the guys no one knows about, the ones that are invisible.
The top 1% of the top 1%, the guys that play God without permission.
And now I think they're now talking about it in the lounge thread.

Jack, there's no more truth to your story than there is to those persistent but clearly erroneous rumours about 747s at YVR.

Hey thread guys, say hi to SAP would you? I miss his posts here. Oh, I just checked and he's still suspended. I guess some folks choose to leave and occasionally make a reappearance (Hi yyznomad, good see you here again) Others are made to leave, and others may have burned all bridges by getting banned on purpose.

I alluded to something above that came true.
Must've been a lucky guess.

There is no password, and you can't ask to join.

Ugh, the insider's knowledge of WiFi on the widebodies of a barely mid-cap airline?
CC hasn't flown a single AC hull on his journey.. OZ apparently lacks WiFi too.
