All of the staff involved belong on the no-fly list. Fucking biohazard. That's gotta be breaking a few laws.

The manager 2 or 3 levels above the staff needs to be taking the heat. The folks who make the decisions and metrics that induce this kind of behavior.
Air Canada is the worst company. Avoid it even if it means extra cost. I'm dead serious they really suck.
What do you even fly if you're in Canada, then? I've heard WestJet took a turn downward a few years back.
Have you tried just being a goose?
Username checks out.
If it's less than a 20 hour drive I'm not flying
Transat is pretty good but yeah, Air Canada is sometimes the only option.sucks.
Porter has been expanding recently and is excellent
Flair!
I'm not even kidding, I prefer it to the majors. Not for everyone though lol.
Did Flair and it was fine - after Swoop wanted to "rebook" a flight within a week of when it was supposed to leave to like the week after I was supposed to return.
I like(d) Swoop too though lol.
LOL WTF, I would not want to sit there as well, eh. Shame on you, Air Canada
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Air Canada has apologised after kicking two passengers off a flight for refusing to sit in vomit-smeared seats.
Susan Benson, who was on the Las Vegas-Montreal service, said the pilot warned the passengers they would be put on a no-fly list if they kept complaining.
She added that staff had tried to cover "a bit of a foul smell" with perfume and coffee grounds.
"We didn't know at first what the problem was," Ms Benson posted on Facebook of the flight late last month.
The passengers were told "they could leave the plane… and organise flights on their own dime, or they would be escorted off by security and placed on a no-fly list!"
Air Canada said it was "reviewing this serious matter" and that "operating procedures were not followed correctly in this instance".
The original article contains 241 words, the summary contains 134 words. Saved 44%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Sorry, eh.
You should edit your title to correct "petfume" to perfume.
What if it was petfume? Like skunk stink or so?
"world news"
Oh sorry I forgot Canada was on Mars
Air Canada is the main international carrier for Canada.
Reporting on nonsense like this on a slow news day is better than just making shit up like some other 24 hour "News" outlets though.
Nowhere as bad as the Americans having a "politics" lemmy that only allows US politics
On the English-speaking internet, North America = the world.

I think you will find that it only includes half of north America (604,155,369 total population https://worldpopulationreview.com/continents/north-america-population vs the 334,233,854 of the contry you likely mean.)
North America is the term generally used for the US and Canada, where I'm from anyway, so I'm not sure what you mean. I do enjoy all the downvotes from the Americans whose exceptionalism is being offended by my pointing it out though, keep it coming chumps!
Don't forget Mexico, Greenland, or the entire Caribbean.
