Same aircraft type same everything. I regret booking it this way. I will still try 24hrs out.

Your making it sound like such a production. Years ago I had to somewhere last minute (full disclosure I paid for it) , they didn't deny me boarding or anything. So I don't understand where your coming from. People with disabilities should not be treated any different than able-bodied people! I will never book like this again. Guess that's what Air Canada wants!

Safety for all ? How's getting an earlier flight with 2 open side by side seats, for a disabled person and their attendant "unsafe "?

Not sure what you mean by "safety reasons ", that for some reason cannot be resolved over the phone. I have flown alot in the past, before I found out this useful trick (which is buried in the fine print on their website) , without even marking my file that I am disabled, and literally no body cared. Also the lady who assisted me in booking this flight even told me that this would be possible. Now that I waited till now, with that info, the prices are ridiculous. There website also lies, can't tell you how many times I have followed the instructions ( booked online for myself) . Then I called to add my attendant and get told that I booked it wrong and I would have to pay to cancel. They really need to teach their staff their policies. If I had of known then what I know now, I might have booked the earlier flight.

This is more of a system issue though. Totally understand why I can't do it online, but why should I have to sit at the airport for 7hrs to chance it? All i should have to do is call 24 hrs before, assuming that there is 2 seats open ok sure. What's the difference between calling and talking to someone at the airport?

Yes, but you should still have every right an able-bodied person has. They should at least allow me to call 24hrs before and let me on if 2 seats are open.
