@notatoad - Actually, I have seen lifejackets on West Jet. I make it a point to yank them out from under the seat partway so I know they're there, much to the chagrin of the stewards. Though the West Jet stewards were a lot nicer about it than the Air Canada ones were.

They don't bother showing you the lifejacket stuff unless you're actually flying over water. And I doubt the lifejackets will help when I'm dead in the water either, but hey, it's better than clinging to a seat cushion full of airplane peanut farts! LOL!

Air Canada, thank you for proving once again, that you have no idea how to be a good airline.

Shameful that since Canadian Airlines went under, you got lazy. West Jet is by far a better airline than them. Air Canada insists on being crappy instead of improving and becoming competitive. I must admit, I've flown Air Canada a few times, and I can never say I've ever had a good experience. I can't even say I had a mediocre experience. It's always been horrible.

Hmm... with all this gun hub-bub in Toronto (The mayor is trying to ban all guns and gun related activities in the city), where I assume she was returning to... I'm surprised Mayor David Miller let her back into the city...

A friend of mine was returning from Great Britain a few years ago (I can't remember if it was pre or post 9/11). Her friend had made her a lighter with a shot shell cover. It was a spent shell and this was before the ban on disposable lighters on flights went into effect. It was a little hand made gift and it meant a lot to her.

The guard that confiscated it from her said "It's not that it's dangerous, it's what it represents."

Ummm... The Toronto accent, though hillarious, was off. Maybe someday, you hosers in the rest of the world will understand that not everyone in Canada, Toronto especially, sounds like Bob and Doug Mackenzie. LOL!

My parents are from Korea, and the method he attributes to that region is how they counted wads of cash. They were also much faster than him too. That fan method sounds interesting. Anyone got a link for it?

Congratulations!

Clearly my mind has been touched by Neil Gaiman's Sandman series. I was completely creeped out by these photos.

Want!! This will look wonderful on the Christmas tree at work beside the VP's office. LOL!
