Meanwhile, a buddy here in YVR had a flight (WestJet, I think?) cancelled, so he had to fly to Victoria, change planes to Edmonton, stay overnight in Edmonton, and then fly to Ottawa the next day. Because of the relatively-new Passenger Bill of Rights, all of the accommodation, food, and incidentals were covered, AND he got $1000 in compensation. Canadian, but still!

Turns out holding corporate feet to the fire can be done, without “ruining” businesses, with some judicious government intervention.

No doubt they figured the airline’d rustle up a pilot.

Not a good look, brussels airlines.
