Interesting that the team's planes have been grounded and, until this week, unable to fly back from Georgia. Cause still not determined and they expect next year's training to be delayed by a month. https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/snowbirds-aerobatics-team-to-return-to-canada-after-crash-in-u-s-1.4704...
Jump to postAny chance it was a 757? One left Toronto at about 3 pm yesterday carrying the Raptors to Atlanta. (I assume that's what it would have been doing anyway. Same flight number - DL8944 - is scheduled to return to Toronto at 11 pm tonight.)

Jump to postIt all goes back to feeding the hub. The more passengers Delta can get transiting through SEA, the better off they will be. As Victoria is a prosperous city and a big gateway to Vancouver Island tourism, I was surprised they could not make it work with a regional jet. Not too many cities that sized...

Jump to postPorter joining Aeroplan is useless for Western Canada. The talk about getting OneWorld carriers onboard is similarly useless for those not in major markets (e.g., YYJ where I am).
Going to apply for an RBC WestJet card and collect one last Aeroplan reward before dumping that credit card.

Porter has a better chance now than they did before Ford was elected premier. Toronto voted for Ford in that election, and if the city elections in October go the same way, then the odds of Porter getting jets will get a bit better. PCs won 11 seats in Toronto while NDP/Liberals won 15. The seats w...
Jump to postApparently the stop in Athens was not a result of duty time but was instead Shabbat-related. The stop in Gander meant they couldn't make it all the way to Israel before the start of Shabbat.

One would think that if an accident involved fatalities, the airline would remove that aircraft from service out of respect for the victims and their families I'd be curious if you believe this absolutely.

YYZ-Tokyo is twice daily, one each to HND and NRT. The latter route has a stopover in YYC as of this year, due to AC launching YUL-NRT and utilizing YYZ-NRT's slot.
