There are easier ways to get from YYC to YYC. Try a major carrier next time

Safe travels, Sir. Maybe see you in YC sometime this winter.

Such is the lot of the oilman these days. I now may need to add a YYC-SFO-YYC in there somewhere, too. I'm gonna go from zero to Aeroplan Elite (Star aliance gold) in seven weeks... just in time to be done travels.
