Its Thursday night, and I'm not currently aboard an AC flight over the St Laurance.

Did you guys see air canada new ad on their Instagram story ? What terrible marketing. First use a guy that at least someone would know lol. Second do something more interesting, I yawned by the 4th slide. Wonder how much they paid him for that #promotion

We'll be flying left to right today.

Not sure I'm convinced, it looks a little strange, but we're giving it a try.

An FA announcing that you are being forced to stay on board after an almost 11 hour flight for 3 minutes at YYZ T1......at 457 AM........when it takes about 10-15 min just to walk to the CBSA, who don't open until 500 AM.

In IAH United lets you out when they are early so you can at least start feeling human again.

I'd wager the YYZ maze builders also don't come on until 0500, and AC doesn't want you infecting other parts of the airport. As flight crews have done often enough.

Maybe someone finally cracked some knuckles.

Gerardus Mercator was getting a little too comfortable anyway.

Well I'm now annoyed.

AC changed my flight schedules. Not only did they not send me a blizzard of notifications, when I looked in My Bookings, AC had highlighted those PNRs in pink. I don't like pink. Fuchsia, sure.

Worse, I'm now arriving 4 minutes earlier for my first flight and 5 minutes earlier for my second flight. And it continues from there. Outrageous.

Now I have to go plan what to do with all that free time.

Dozens of AC aircraft have "JZ" in their registrations. They all fly for Jazz, which makes sense. Except C-FJZS, which is a 77W, for crying out loud!

If you ask flight crew to start cooking bacon in the galley of a 7M8, I suspect you'll see things get pretty salty pretty quickly.

This one's not a complaint at all; I seem to have qualified for SE in a single Jazz flight!

Unless you bought a Standard fare. What a shame that would be, to miss out on so many miles!

I do have a new route to add to your mileage database, though. They're really getting bold with these hyper-regional routes!
