I plan to send it to my member of parliament to protest the new air passenger bill of rights they voted in this week for Canada. Amoung other things it will force airlines to pay each passenger $500 per hour the flight is delayed for any reason, even weather or other safety issues
This will also apply to US airlines operating flights into canada.... so this is bad for everyone!
I don't have the link but you can go to the NTSB website directly and get the report. NTSB.gov
