Having a bigger cabin but less space for yourself is good? A little extra oxygen and humidity on a shortish flight is hardly a huge benefit. Keep reaching you're bound to find some more excuses to try to make AC look better

The AA pod space is a couple of inches larger than AC pods and doesn't make up for the extra cabin space, larger widows, air qty, humidity and the reduced notice level in my eyes of the 787.

On YYZ-LAX, 2 of the 7 flights are wide-bodies, both 767. (I checked this coming Tuesday as an arbitrary date).
So you don't get the 787 benefits, and if you want a different flight, unless you're willing to fly 12 hours earlier or later, you're not even going to get a pod.

Hollywood goes home early
The most interesting aspect is the fact the non-stops end on Sept 14, whereas TIFF ends on Sept 18 i.e. Hollywood goes home early!
FYI, it has been # years since AC was a corporate sponsor of TIFF.
