    All of the staff involved belong on the no-fly list. Fucking biohazard. That’s gotta be breaking a few laws.

      The manager 2 or 3 levels above the staff needs to be taking the heat. The folks who make the decisions and metrics that induce this kind of behavior.

        Oh, are we going back to “I was just following orders” being an excuse?

          I thought the Nuremberg trials were mostly officers? So the middle managers couldn’t blame the CEO.

            I don’t care? The Nuremburg trials aren’t the source of basic morality and ethics. They aren’t even a particularly good example of it, if you’ve actually got any familiarity with what actually happened.

                For one, the fact that whether someone was tried and convicted was generally not based on guilt, but whether or not they were of use to the allies or not.

                Werner Von Braun was probably the most famous example, but there are hundreds of others.

    Air Canada is the worst company. Avoid it even if it means extra cost. I’m dead serious they really suck.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Air Canada has apologised after kicking two passengers off a flight for refusing to sit in vomit-smeared seats.

    Susan Benson, who was on the Las Vegas-Montreal service, said the pilot warned the passengers they would be put on a no-fly list if they kept complaining.

    She added that staff had tried to cover “a bit of a foul smell” with perfume and coffee grounds.

    “We didn’t know at first what the problem was,” Ms Benson posted on Facebook of the flight late last month.

    The passengers were told “they could leave the plane… and organise flights on their own dime, or they would be escorted off by security and placed on a no-fly list!”

    Air Canada said it was “reviewing this serious matter” and that “operating procedures were not followed correctly in this instance”.

              It is boring but when their entire company is based on a 24 hour News model they need to push something out every few hours regardless of how slow the news day is. Fox just fills that time with stuff that excites their viewers but has no basis at all in fact.

                Eh, Fox is choosy with their facts. They are capable of reporting factual things. The thing is, this is just a big old nothingburger. Write an option piece about Olaf Scholz’s eye patch. Or a day in the life of someone living in Myanmar under the military regime. This world is so full of life and experience, why waste airtime on this?

                  Fox isn’t news…they don’t report, nor do they care about facts. They are entertainment. Nothing more.

      Reporting on nonsense like this on a slow news day is better than just making shit up like some other 24 hour “News” outlets though.
