Title: Flight Delayed By Hockey Post by: dystopia on March 11, 2010, 07:21:39 PM Air Canada learns that hockey trumps flying http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20100310/od_nm/us_aircanada_hockey Quote ... The airline was forced to delay a flight from Vancouver during the 2010 Winter Olympic Games because passengers watching the end of gold medal final on airport televisions ignored repeated calls to board. "We incurred a flight delay for a reason Air Canada had not yet encountered in over 72 years of existence," chief executive Calin Rovinescu told a business gathering. The Canadian fans were rewarded for their delay, as the nail-biting end to the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics saw Canada beat arch-rival United States 3-2 in overtime.

Kinda funny though. On my last flight (I'm not big on flying so I wait 'til the last minute sitting at the bar pouring beer down. I figure 1:52 means 1:52.) I come LOL |
