check your devices

Go ahead. Open your iPhone. Some things don't present as being safe to open without damaging the unit, so no one's going to pop it open for lulz.

Terrorists killing terrorists

These are the terrorists killing anyone standing around people the terrorists don't like. During a funeral.

I am starting to love them

Be careful whom you worship.

Based

On second thought, you'll be onto some new fad in a day.

 

I haven't seen it yet, and this one is near and dear to my heart.

Update your stuff -- this one's been affecting Enterprise Linux for maybe 12 years, versions the distros have long since grown bored of supporting, so essentially every EL install out there. So great.

give a user an option to easily open such in the same tab/window.

I am not sure where the 'option' (ie 'optional') part got lost in the logic here.

tight-packed schedules

Extra hardware.

Not something sitting there hot and ready to go, but there to take the place of the flight. Maintain a one-unit queue of planes ready to board and launch so that each and every plane sits for 2 hours and is actually prepped.

Or, when that inevitable daily breakage happens and a plane needs to be taken off the line for the day, it allows time to bring in another spare to keep that queue full (of 1) when the rotation loses that active plane.

there was nothing they could do

I'm willing to bet 'showing basic humanity' was an available option the flight crew was just unable to consider.

Pierre will tell us we're still over-funded and his rich friends should pay even less taxes than the pittance they're paying now.

With no extra airplanes, they probably don't have time.

Again, the problem comes down to no extra equipment; even when it would give them the lag time to properly clean between departures at no added hw maintenance or aircrew costs.

Agreed. We've had just so many experiences of negligence and apathy from Air Canada that we've given up on them and also consider them an airline of last resort. We'll move dates and locations to open up other options before considering them, as well, and even reconsider just not going.

Great news for Air Canada is that Westjet got bought and declined sharply since then, so they're only much better than Air Canada instead of being in a different category completely as before.

Now do 'home and native land.'

Not being psychic, I'd be far more reluctant to over-leverage assumptions like that.

The name of the 10th premier of Alberta, who won his party control in the '70s on a platform (featuring diversity in spending and preparing for a post-oil economy) all but ignored soon after, after whom the region is named, is apparently pronounced "LAW-heed".

Yeah. I'm dumbfounded too. I'll continue to pronounce it "LOW-heed" so people don't look at me funny. Bone apple tea.
