This one feels tenuous. The combination of AC206 to AC584 on the 12th doesn’t inspire much confidence. The 45 minute turn going from domestic to transborder is very tight. YYC had switch gates back then but they weren’t necessarily quick to switch, depending on where you were parked and how the terminal was configured at the moment.
Looking at other E90 arrivals scheduled in to YYC around that time, AC585 from EWR was scheduled to arrive at 11:08, which would have been a more plausible inbound. AC113 from YOW, scheduled in at 10:30, also feels possible. Plenty of time to be towed or wait for a switch gate to be reconfigured.
I was surprised that the plane would have sat overnight at EWR, but it did look like everything else AC at EWR around that time was either an E75 (YYZ) or a 319 (YVR), so AC584 on the 12th probably is the inbound if we can figure that out.
There was also another early morning E90 departure from YEG on the 12th, AC114 to YYZ, that could have been C-FHON. And there are a number of ways it could have gotten from there to YYC to operate that 211 on the 13th.
I’d agree that AC545 LAS-YVR definitely had to be operated by the aircraft that came in as AC546 from YYC. There was a YYZ-LAS that was scheduled to arrive only a few minutes after that might, in theory, have been able to do the LAS-YVR, but it was delayed and arrived far too late, so that’s clean.
I’m not too hung up on the fact I had originally posted this as an A321. I suspect that came from the booking confirmation. This would have been a trip booked fairly close in, but still, reasonable chance that it could have changed. FlightStats and FlightAware do both show it as having been an A319.
The only other way for C-GARJ to have gotten to YYC in time would have been to operate AC141 later the evening of the 8th. FlightStats shows that as having been an E90, and if that’s correct, it would give us a definitive answer. But we know the types listed there aren’t always correct… So, any intel on that flight that would help us make this 100%? (I think it’s 95% now, don’t get me wrong, just curious whether we can make it definitive).
I think there’s too much distance between these data points. This might be correct, but I suspect that AC614 on the 20th went to YUL as AC671 at 20:55. It could still have operated the AC165 either way, but unless we have departure/arrival gates, I don’t think we really know with any certainty.
The AC118 that arrived at YHZ as the continuation of my flight would have sat around overnight, but so would several other E90s, so I don’t think there’s any way to tie that AC607 the next day to the previous evening’s AC118.
I suspect I could come up with quite a few different paths for an E90 to take that would tie the AC266 on the 20th to the AC607 on the 22nd that wouldn’t involve the AC118 I’m looking for.
Can these be finally removed from the list? I think I already solved them months ago, so I don't know why they're still here.

Are some of these the ones that conflicted with what I had already found, and my friend’s photos? I thought I had addressed all of those ones that were proposed while I wasn’t on this site for a few months, but it’s possible I missed looking at some, or did look at them but forgot to reply.
