Rouge 763 on YYZ-YYC in June
Just got an itinerary change. A YYZ-YYC leg in P was changed to a Premium Rouge one on a 763. I hate the 763 Rouge, even in front. Tried it once and my thought was, never again. But eh, never say never.
I wonder if this will be a good enough reason to make a free change... Perhaps to the previous day?

I still recall AC clearly stating that rouge would serve holiday destinations only ... it was not going to replace mainline service on domestic or transborder routes.
Enjoy that big pay raise, Calin.

This is clearly part of the Max recovery plan. But yes, it was Calin who went and bought the lemon.

I know it's related to the Max situation, but point being, we have rouge on domestic and transborder routes regardless, and we had them before the Max grounding. YYT82 is probably right, this will just accelerate the eventual rouging of ALL routes.
