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.

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

What do you even fly if you’re in Canada, then? I’ve heard WestJet took a turn downward a few years back.

Did Flair and it was fine - after Swoop wanted to “rebook” a flight within a week of when it was supposed to leave to like the week after I was supposed to return.

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”.
