A Note to Our Readers

Dear Readers,
We make a special effort here to record the facts as we receive them. At times, there may be error but we do try to use our best judgement at the time of posting, and will be glad to amend any details which are proved incorrect. Furthermore, even though we do not here discuss the human cost, we realize that losing anyone in an air accident is insurmountable tragedy to individuals, families and communities. We do extend our heartfelt sympathy to those whose loss we record here. "...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for..." us all.

Air Travelers Neglect in Canada

Sunday March 1 is going to be a new day for birds and a bad day for Canadian Air travelers. That's the day that wildlife control
officers go part time. Despite being unable to read this, Vancouver International Airport's birds will no doubt be extremely grateful, or maybe not-- considering that the downsizing/downgrading of personnel is likely to result in more dead birds and more downed planes. So in addition to Canadian Snow, Canadian Ice and Canadian Winter, Canadian air Travelers are also going to be inflicted with Canadian Birds. If I have to fly Canadian, I'm walking. Or I'll be hitching a jump seat on the next flyby batch of Canadian geese. Heaven help us all.
