What exactly is AC Rouge?  I've never heard of it?  A new AC affiliated airline?

Its a cut rate AC....but from what Ive heard, if you are a male of average height or taller you will have a really bad time. They fit 10 pounds of potatoes into a 5 pound bag.

So a free hot meal and drinks aren't include I guess?   ;D

I think padding on the seats and a seatbelt are optional........

Nothing is worse than United. Rouge is just like West Jet, designed for people under 5'5"

I understand bing watching.  I watched 5 seasons of Entourage in 3 days.

In HD that would be 66 GB. In Better quality (SD) 15.4 GB.

SD makes me mad though.

Yeah total cut rate. Seats super close together and nothing included. My legs and back were ready to explode and it was a quick 2:20 flight.

Only plus is the hipster attendant uniforms

Luckily we're not on Rouge going home.

We flew on Rouge to Nassau last week.  It was pretty terrible.  I'm 6'1" and had to sit sideways with my knees in the aisle to fit.  No screens on seatback either.  It made a 3+ hour flight feel like an eternity.

Our flight home was on a regular AC flight.  Felt like business class after experiencing Rouge.  Everyone I spoke to on the flight agreed that Rouge should be avoided at all costs.

You guys are comparing Rogue to West Jet but I've never had any complaints flying on West Jet. Leg room is typical for economy class and they've had personal TV way before Air Canada decided to put it in their economy class.

Flew united in one of those tiny planes with only 1 seat on one side and 2 on the other.  Had too much leg room.

You orangutans should pay for the bigger planes lol

Air fares should be determined by volume and weight. Median Canadian males are ~175cm (5'9") and 80kgs (177lbs). Huge surcharges should be assessed on anyone 10% above that.  ;D

The 95 percentile is hit at roughly 190cm (6'3"), and being essentially a freak of nature, should be taunted and laughed at by the yokels for two bits a gander. ;D

I hate Westjet. Their entertainment system might have been first, but it's crap. They certainly seem to have less legroom than an equivalent plane from AC. The ever so smarmy flight attendants also get under my skin. I used them a couple of times, and after the extra fees and add-ons, never even managed to save money over the flight I had used with AC.

AirWalmart as far as I'm concerned.

Seat pitch has been reduced significantly over the last decade that for the past 3 years now I only fly business. I did try the AC economy premium one to Vancouver and there was plenty of leg room.

Sketchers yup.  Like walking on clouds. Decided on these vs my black runners at the last minute.  Gotta be comfy.

Was going to use these but I don't think they are good for long walks.

FYI, Shaw used to have:

Internet 25/250GB $60 <----- What I had
Broadband 50/400GB $80
Broadband 100/500GB $90
Broadband 100 Plus/750GB $95

They increased the prices on January 1 and changed the plans
Internet 25/250GB $67
Internet 60/400GB $90
Internet 120/500GB Coming Soon
Internet 120/750GB Coming Soon

Damn, that's expensive!!!  I'm on Bell's FibreOP, which is 150mbps down and no bandwidth caps whatsoever.  It also includes my landline and FibreOP TV for $99.99 per month.
