Involuntary Schedule Changes Questions

Hi everyone

Flying YVR - YQB in May. The itinerary has been changed several times in the last week or two. It is a bit of a moving target. I have a few questions:

1. The latest change has me getting into YQB about 5 mins earlier but I now go through YYZ on AC34 instead of YUL on AC300. I want to minimize my time on a DH4 so can I ask them to put me back on AC300 without incurring a change fee?

2. I had paid for Premium Economy seat (sorry Preferred Seat) on AC 300 and now they have me in regular Y on AC 34 and processed a credit for the seat fee. Can I also ask them to put me back in a Preferred Seat, why didnt they just put me in a Preferred Seat again? I know this one will not be free

Why so many changes? Is early May the transition to the Summer timetable?

Thanks in advance

They should definitely be willing to switch you back, but given how bad AC's IT is I'm 99% sure you will have to re-purchase a preferred seat. And yes, May is when everything changes... looking forward to losing the 767 on AC150/195 but I'll miss 19A compared to any Y seat on the 788
