TORONTO — U.S. actor Rob Lowe took to Twitter early Friday to celebrate some news from Canada’s aviation industry.

Lowe responded to a tweet from Patrick Khoury, senior director of U.S. sales for Air Canada, announcing the reintroduction of Business Class seats on its Rouge planes.

“Victory is ours!,” Lowe declared.

A little more than a year ago, Lowe took Rouge to task on Twitter, poking fun at its small seats and “jaunty” hats.

In another tweet, he wrote: “People are irate on this Air Canada ‘rouge’ flight. C’mon people! Who needs leg room or comfortable, regular sized seats when you have HATS!”

Lowe joked that he was looking forward to Air Canada’s “purple” airline “with no seats at all and crew dressed as Prince during his Purple Rain period.”
