Is this a new one for Air Canada?

[NateUpNorth]

Some of the people around here...... sheesh
Two scenario's

A) kid checked a bag, panicked, got vague and less than helpful answers from Air Canada staff, tried for answers a couple times and then Air Canada pulled the pin on the nuclear option and kicked her off the flight

B) airport staff thoroughly provided clear and concise information over the Pearson loudspeakers that could be understood, then provided full and detailed information a second time when checking the bag, then when the kid panicked on the plane the flight staff also provided full and patient explanations before they resorted to removing her from the flight

I know which one I'm going with.


*never flown Air Canada, nor had any interaction with them lest anyone think it's sour grapes on my part :OL

We will never know the 100% full story of actual events for this situation.

 

It was unfortunate for the passenger involved and unfortunate for all the other passengers on the aircraft.

 

These things happen when we travel and we have seen our share of events including a 90 minute circle over Europe dumping fuel to return to the closest airport to offload an intoxicated passenger.  Cool and scary to watch at the same time.

 

If you have never seen a fuel dump before, check this out....  Both wings were dumping at the same time.

I so wish that airports and airplanes were “dry” zones.  We’ve had too many incidents with drunk fellow passengers impacting our flight experience.  
 

The worst was a four hour delay on a February flight from YYZ to Las Vegas, where the deicing had to be done twice due to the return to the gate to offload a drunk woman (and her equally drunk travel party) who kept throwing up on herself and then taking off that vomit-covered piece of clothing.  She was down to a bra and leggings by the time they unloaded her.  And she was exit row.  Even with more clothes and less vomit there was no way she was capable of sitting there.  Fun times.

Yeah, I think she was unaware that the “what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas” doesn’t start until you actually *get* to Vegas… lol
