I don't recall it looking like this in the old app.

My guess is that these were people who received the upgrade before the switch to amadeus. It looks like a number of details on older reservations are now unavailable and this smells like one of them. Examples: the list of reservtions on aircanada.com no longer allows doing anything (except for bidding for upgrades...) on older reservations. But it does for post-switch ones, just like before.

The Newly Redesigned Air Canada Mobile Crapp (Fail 2019)

I like flying with Air Canada, but their mobile app is the worst in industry. Delta and Southwest have set the standard in NA.

I think we should change the wiki...

Remove the AC promotional stuff I put there in the first place before this garbage app came out.

Problem with this industry is that anyone and anything (even your pet rock) can "code". Even my Grandma can code (she only has training in corn husk wreathing). It "works", so clearly, it must be "correct". :rolleyes:

I can't edit the font size in the wiki? Trying to make some *reasonable* changes.

If the craptastic FT WYSIWYG editor doesn't work, then simply brute force type in using the size tag [size=3]Your wording here[/size] or whatever.

Tried typing it on Google Docs and pasting it here, but it just changed it to the big font when I pasted it :td:

The best way to edit an FT wiki is to manually do the tags yourself using something simple like notepad or a basic editor that can tag match... I wouldn't bother with WYSIWYG copying and pasting because it will often end up messy. It's worked swimmingly for me for the very complex wikis I've created.

But what was wrong with what you had in your initial wiki? All the info was there about the new AC mobile app, AFAIK.

It's much easier to debug the onload list before the flight closes, regardless of how much access you have to DCS.

I should have just left it there, but it seemed a little bit more like promotional material for AC if anything.

Will try to make a more accurate updated version later today!
