Mine looked similar after one flight from LHR to YYZ. Air Canada needs to figure out that short term gains (cutting cost on these tags) will simply result in increased costs as customers seek replacements.

For what it's worth, I'm now at 4 segments with no damage (yet).

But I still can't find any of my 2017 tags.

Its not like AC has a bunch of P.Eng's on staff skilled in the science of finite element analysis and developing maintenance schedules.

Damn those are ugly. Also, how did a lowly E50 get tags before moi, a second best E75? I am sure you'll all blame it on living in Asia.

I think the E50K are ugly but I expect the E75Ks will be red on the bottom and the E35Ks will be white on the bottom. Those might turn out to be nice.

Rainbowy. But it makes it harder to quickly scan someones tags and know how hard you should be judging them.

The 2018 E75Ks are red on the bottom, someone had them on my flight on Monday and I noticed. I thought they looked pretty good.
