dieseltaylor Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704398804575071370640933954.html?mod=WSJ_latestheadlines#articleTabs%3Darticle Essentially a report on the eight queues including security checks at Toronto airport - so the checks are longer than the journey. I had gone off air travel years ago as I think its inhumane for people to be treated like cattle! Anywya apparently flight numbers are down and I suspect the frivolous journeys are not being taken anymore. Good for the planet then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passengers were kept stranded on the plane for nearly 12 hours as pilots waited to get clearance to approach the gate. With their food and water gone, and the toilets backing up, passengers finally dialed 911 and asked for help. The RCMP had to intervene before they were let off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
