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 , 2015 edition, 2016 edition and 2017 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 as should topics better suited to other forums such as Travel Products for questions about luggage or Travel Photography for discussion about cameras.
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 here 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.

Here are some rules I just found on a list.
- Once you have their money, you never give it back.
- Anything worth selling is worth selling twice.
- Satisfaction is not guaranteed.
- Always leave yourself an out.
- The more time they take deciding, the more money they will spend.

I accidentally destroyed my Bose QCs. I guess I should off myself now. Or as one of the posters says here... slits wrists //

Despite being partial to the philosophy of Q, I do enjoy the entertainment value provided by these guys. Also, it seems some airlines have incorporated a few of the above mentioned "rules" into their SOP.
IMHO

Looking for ways to reduce my #2MMuffintop
I heard there is a new dieting fad called the ketogenic diet. Anyone here been on it? Does/did it work?
I need to reduce this muffin overflow. The armchair P25Ks, E35Ks, and E50Ks here who have never met me say I clearly must be chubs chubs and have a horrible life, and that I should lose some of this muffiny muffmufftop.
I guess I could always try this:

A friend contacted Bose when the dog ate his. They sent him a voucher for about half off a new pair. And I believe they are still on sale at Amazon for $215. Which isn’t $189 but it beats $320 or whatever retail is.

How? When mine (which are not the same ones are yours I believe) died in one ear Bose replaced them as a one off despite being ~2 years old. I am of the firm opinion that $300 headphones should last at least 5 years.

I'll see what I can do to have them repaired or get some discount.
(Your friend's dog actually ate his Bose QCs?! When the dog barks, does it make a sound?)

I wear them to sleep all the time. Have done so for years and years (and years). I think I crushed them this time because my pillow was like concrete.

Which ones did you have ? My previous ones had the foam break up and the cable got mashed and I had to order replacements from Bose. A friend got Bose at Denver airport kiosk to replace his for free. I now using the QC35/45 - not sure of the model but its the super duper bluetooth one so no cords.

For me it is too big a commitment. I like my carbs (read: beer) way too much.

Got an interview in Calgary 
Yeah, there's a few. Google something like "014 airline code". For example: IATA code, airlines - Doprava v Praxi
