Great photos zahav. The new A/B piers look excellent, and WS will definitely be getting a great facility. It almost looks AC's new C pier looking a little underwhelming now (unless there are plans to juggle the airline gate placements again).
I still don't understand what is YVRs thing with those ceiling tiles: personally prefer a cleaner ceiling aesthetic. The only other comment I have is the first and third pictures, the supporting bars for the signage dropping all the way down ruins the flow, and they could have elected to hang the signage floating from the side walls instead. But all in all, it looks great.

No but your first comment was referring to Silicon Valley. LAX is a much more fragmented market (the market share of US carriers vs. Int'l ones is indicative of this). The direct competitors to LAX is WS and AS. WS does not have a J product, no competition. AS does have Domestic F service, but I'd argue would be little difference to ACs Rouge product. Both WS and AS have cost bases lower than ACs, and Rouge offers a better cost platform for AC to compete in this market.
I'm not an AC apologist, but to claim they have no idea what they are doing is absurd. They know very well what they are doing here. It might not be good for consumers, but they answer to their shareholders. Until there is mass exodus of passengers onto its competition, which is seemingly unlikely to occur in both these markets, these moves should lead to better business for AC.
