That was when they had every few aircraft with PY. We do not know what the price will be. Let's say it's $75 to $100(YYZ-YVR) more than a preferred seat. At that price, they will sell the product.

$100 more than a preferred seat in Flex? In Tango? In Latitude?

Before it made sense to buy flex on wide body for e50k+..because even if you don't get upgrade you get PY for free... not anymore.
I better buy my return ticket ASAP then select 14C.... sigh

Little disappointed this is happening but, definitely saw it coming. My main concern is eupgrades to the J cabin. If domestic PY does become similar to narrowbody J, does AC then up the amount of eupgrades credits for J and use the current amount for upgrading to PY? I know it's too early for an answer but it concerns me a little bit. Really hoping as others have said there will be upgrades for status pax if empty.

PY was introduced using fewer credits. J did not change.

Where does AC fly their non 763 wide bodies in NA? I see a lot of YVR-YYZ of all sorts (which makes sense given YVR is Pacific hub and YYZ is everything else hub), some YVR-YUL but YYC-YYZ is always 763s. Anywhere else for mainline fleet?

YYZ-LAX (789), a mix on YYZ-YUL depending on the day. YYZ-SFO is getting a 787 for the summer.
