Yes, yours truly and the several other planeloads of passengers whose flights had been canceled. Of course, they had plenty of opportunity to rebook as they were already on the ground. Me? I now had as much chance of finding an empty seat to New York as I did of becoming the next Pope!
Finally, after endless hours of standing around the ticket desk waiting for an Air Canada manager (who never did materialize) I received a call on my cell phone informing me that I was definitely confirmed on a flight out in the morning (maybe the fact that Chrysler spends a lot of money with AC had something to do with that result).
The next morning after only two hours shuteye I passed the hordes of people sleeping on the chairs in the departure lounge, many of whom would be lucky if they got a flight at all that day, and headed for the gate.
On my way at last, but the next time I'm off to something this important, I might try Biggles Airways...You know, the one with the half drunk pilot who says "No problem mate, I've flown in force nine hurricanes with only vapors left in the tank"!!!
Seriously though, Air Canada did do their best to overcome the problem and with a bit of luck (fingers and toes crossed) I'll be bringing you all the news on the 09 Dodge Challenger...So stay tuned to Auto123.
