They nearly got on a flight, but were told the pilot was too exhausted to fly and had failed a cognitive test.

There was some disappointment among the Quebecois passengers that the crew couldn’t speak French, but no major complaints.
Hehe... Priorities I guess...

As an AvCanada discussion grows longer:
-the probability of 'entitlement' being mentioned, approaches 1
-one will be accused of using bad airmanship

I'm not sure why everybody thinks that once a merger goes through, the next day Sunwing operations cease to exist. The Sunwing OC will have to continue operating for quite a while. It will realistically take a minimum of one year to integrate the two airlines, and that's IF they decide to integrate them. Having said that, if they keep Sunwing operating separately for a few more years, I can see certain areas outsourced, such as OCC.
I don't think they have a choice. I've heard that Transport doesn't like one company having 4 different 705 OCs and has given notice to combine some operations. It won't happen overnight though you're right there.

I have heard that too, but I am unaware of anything that prohibits a company from using multiple AOCs.

Dang... You're right! Who would have thought there'd be *two* airlines starting with S having complete meltdowns at the same time... :P
ATC confuses us all the time too. I want SWA compensation every time ATC mistakes us for Southwest on the radio.
