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 , 2017 edition and 2018 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. Air Canada or Aeroplan topics such as flight feedback, in-flight services issues, status 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, destinations, in-flight travel tech. or anything best discussed elsewhere on FT may be relocated to that forum as this thread isn't meant to import travel topics to this forum that are better discussed on other forums. FT is an amazingly diverse and large community so members are encouraged to seek out all of its resources.
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.

As mentioned above
OAK gets no Rouge love
however a body of water
makes good poetic fodder
And a nice place to visit
but we won't be explicit
'coz it would be a pity
to already name the city

@yyznomad wont be explicit
Yet his destination seems far from implicit
his body of water, is it big or small?
Or will we be stuck surveying them all
Rouge apparently flying for leisure
has enough long haul routes to cause one to seizure
is it a short haul like down through the gulf coast?
Or one of those TALTs rouge loves to boast
O how we long to know his mission,
yet our search has yet to come to fruition.
O @yyznomad, please give us a clue,
before this search turns into something we rue

Ahem. We aren't discussing ACr in the forum thread now are we? As per the thread wiki AC & AP topics belong elsewhere so let's please discuss baseball and not rouge.

It's the closest airport to my office.
And it's the closest to my home by great-circle distance.
But I don't like the airlines that fly there.

At what point should we notify YYZ police that a very prominent member of this community had gone missing more or less at the same time as another no less prominent member had started boasting about flying all over the place with her?
Should we be worried that @yyznomad is going through security with @24left stuffed in his carry-on luggage, slipping her some Kit Kats through the zipper from time to time?
