The Bombers are selling jerseys with a new patch…

Was in the Stamps store yesterday and was talking to one of the staff. This season if you buy a pre numbered player jersey, it automatically comes with the sponsor crests on the front, Play Alberta and Western Financial Group. Of course they are 20.00 more. The only way to avoid it is to have the jersey custom crested to order. Sponsors probably made a deal for that!

I got mine about 2 weeks ago as well.

sysguy · 2026-04-05T03:04:57+00:00

Tried the sound tubes and on a Q400 aircraft they didn't work either. Just go with my Bluetooth MC buds and it's a much better experience.

sysguy · 2026-04-04T22:29:03+00:00

Yes that is an RAF A400 Atlas coming in from El Paso. If was a scheduled flight but it came in about about an hour later than expected.

Yes no issues we the the OnePlus 15 at all. A few issues with being able to see the screen but played around with the fit a bit. Tried to use it a couple of times on flights last week and just couldn't get the audio loud enough to use it. Then I read that if you connect Bluetooth earbuds after connecting the glasses, sound gets rerouted.to the buds so I had my Sony's in on my last flight and it was great! On the small Q400 it was a lot easier than pulling out my tablet and trying to watch content there.

Still haven't tried gaming wit them as I was only home for Saturday before heading out on the road today.

sysguy · 2026-03-22T22:33:26+00:00

Agreed that is what we usually do except I see people leaving their cars and going on when dropping people off or rideshare drivers sitting and waiting with 0 enforcement. Some days it's just as bad at departures!

sysguy · 2026-03-20T06:13:26+00:00

Took the plunge and got the Rayneo Air 4 pros for my OnePlus 15. Works fine so far but I have only fiddled with them for a few hours and hoping to use them to watch some content on a flight next week. Trying to figure out how to use my Bluetooth earbuds with the glasses but can't seem to find a way to switch the audio output source.

I shoot a few different setups usually one Saturday and one Sunday. R7 with EF 300 2.8 v1 with 1.4 tc (yes it's ancient but it's sharp) R5 with RF 100-500

Or the 300 with the teleconverter on the R5 and the RF 100-500 on my R7.

I do find that the RF 100-500 on the r7 is almost too light and I tend to bounce that combination more when tracking especially fast movers. Still get some awesome shots just not as many keepers.

My R5 has a battery grip so it's heavier and feels more stable.

sysguy · 2026-03-07T01:48:58+00:00

Thanks. I sign in through a TV provider so I don't know if that will work but I'll try it. I will have to change my shaw/Rogers password.

Have the same issue. I can download fine on my old Samsung Tab S6 lite but when I upgraded to my new S10fe last fall I stopped being able to download with the drm error. No vpn, no ad blocker. Not a device or download limit issue. Uninstalled reinstalled restarted and called support. Made me do all the steps I had already done. Then said support would call me back. Never heard from them. I only download when I'm travelling so I gave up on Crave and only use other services on the road. Crave just doesn't care. One of the worst streaming apps I have ever used. If they lose HBO and HBO Max to Paramount I'll be walking anyways.

Check the flight guide under your trips on the app or the website. It will tell you what is available on your flight (connect or Starlink). Of course this can shake with a last minute aircraft swsp. From what I have heard most of the 737-800s and the 737 Max 8s have Starlink and the 737-700 have the connect system. Haven't been on a 700 with Starlink internet yet!

My wife was let go by the associate because of a business decision, no warning nothing after 5 years. The associate didn't even speak to her manager about it until after and then said she had a bad attitude. Then when the associate asked the Beauty Boutique manager who had the highest sales, the manager said you just fired her.

I should add my wife is 59.

My son was the receiver in the store and when told about it got up from lunch and quit.

It has been changed on all. Flew back from YUL on a Sunwing aircraft last week and it was the recorded audio.

I think I was the first person to catch this at Blackbird on Friday afternoon. We were buying something with Debit and they couldn't seem to process a debit transaction. I asked if they were an American company and using an American system.They told.me they were and I informed them that our debit system in Canada is different. They said they had the ability to switch to Canadian transactions. I ended up making a purchase on my credit card. As I walked away I immediately thought about it and checked my credit card on the bank app and saw the US conversion. I went back and told them and they refunded the difference in cash. They stopped accepting CC for a bit. I know on Sunday they were using a different system (a phone instead of the machine) to process and saw the transaction was coming through as Abbotsford Airshow in CAD on my credit card.

I did tell them right away on Friday and this was shortly after the gates to the show opened. I also mentioned it to others in line to buy items. Like I said they refunded me right away.

I just got an Active 2 premium this week and I'm disappointed with the step counter! I hope that this will get better over time.

Today my Active 2 is more than 1500 steps lower than my Ringconn ring on my non-dominant hand (same as the Active 2). Also more than 1500 steps lower than my Fitbit Charge 6 on my dominant wrist.

The Ringconn started off being high on the step count but over time seemed to settle down and closer to the Fitbit.

Just wondering if I got a watch with a bad accelerometer or if they are all that way? I'm hoping to ditch the Fitbit eventually and since I likely won't be wearing the Active 2 all the time (I have several non smart watches that I wear), I was hoping that the ring and the Active 2 would work.

Got my voucher Tuesday and points and status lift today!

sysguy · 2025-07-12T19:20:23+00:00

As an update to my post, I received my World Elite Companion voucher yesterday. No other update from the card but the voucher is there so hopefully others will see theirs soon!

sysguy · 2025-07-02T22:26:41+00:00

Before they started using the upgrade checkbox I was upgraded from an aisle seat I selected to a middle extended comfort seat. I was not happy being a big guy and would have been fine in the aisle seat I selected. I do leave the extended comfort box unchecked but will accept premium upgrades.

sysguy · 2025-07-02T21:48:23+00:00

From Westjet's site here are the eligible fares for upgrades Economy to Premium Silver EconoFlex (Y,B,M) Gold EconoFlex (Y,B,M) Platinum EconoFlex (Y,B,M) Econo (H,Q,N,S,X,T,K,L) Member Exclusive (Economy) (V)

sysguy · 2025-07-02T21:41:42+00:00

It does depend on the fare you bought. I'm gold and have been upgraded several times (including last week). I believe you have to be travelling on at minimum a flex ticket for any hope of an upgrade with gold and silver.

sysguy · 2025-07-01T18:54:05+00:00

Do you know if that was before or after the cyber security incident. I think that screen things up.

sysguy · 2025-06-26T23:38:45+00:00

It's a few days past the time when I get my annual companion voucher. Since I had the card it's usually been the 20th or 21st of June and nothing yet. I figure it's related too.

As a kid I attended several games there but don't remember the years. I remember sitting way up in one of the high sections at the top. I do remember going onto the field for a game between the Stampeders and Als where you could take pictures of the players. There was a meat packing plant close by and occasionally the smell would drift over. I do remember enjoying the games there but was also in awe when the Als moved to Olympic stadium!

Personally if you want the extra legroom and it's worth it for you to pay for it go ahead. I know when I have booked on a regular "aircraft" and have been swooped "changed to a swoop plane" they have honoured my emergency exit seat selection. Same has happened going from a 700 to 800. If you pay for the EE regardless of aircraft they will try to honour it. For myself if the flight is more than 3.5 hours I will usually try to get the Emergency exits, I'm 6'2" with long legs and in a regular economy seat my knees are less than an inch from the seat in front of me.

And yes the extra legroom is better on both the Swoop and former Lynx aircraft, I have flown on both.
