Canadians are weenies

A bunch of years ago I was bumped from a Continental flight from Denver. Along with an apology, I received an upgrade to First Class on the next flight (1 hour later), a free flight anywhere Continental flew and a dinner voucher, which I used 2 weeks later. All this for delaying me by one hour.

Flying the friendly skies of Canada, a Scare Canada Airbus 319 turns into a Whirling Durbish soon into a flight from Victoria to Toronto. One minute you are sitting quietly... then next you are getting a close up view of the wall paper on the ceiling of the aircraft. When you land, three seats away from yours, you are showered with hot coffee and weak tea. Luckily they do not serve real food on AC, so you are only hit with sesame snacks and cookies. The plane lands in Calgary and eight passengers are taken to hospital. So what does Air Casual do to compensate?

Those who could walk were stuffed into cattle car class for a continued flight, crowded to say the least, to Toronto. The eight injured enjoyed a day in hospital at the cost of the taxpayers. All passengers were all were given a voucher for a free flight on AC. No confirmation yet that they needed to use the free flight to get to Toronto?

Here we are a week later and there is no indication what went wrong. The blame is being put on jet wash from a previous plane. Jet wash at 35,000 feet when the closest plane would have been a minimum spread away? Really!

We are such weenies!
