Eighteen hour days

I'm getting too old for these hours.
Progress ... ...Somewhere in the middle.

The Canadian Transportation Agency decided to rule Disabled passengers aboard jets will be allowed an attendant the ability to fly accompanying them using one ticket, even if they take up two or more seats.
The agency is allowing Air Canada, Air Canada Jazz and WestJet one year to bring in a "one-person, one-fare" policy.
Its a weird set of numbers that says it would cost ... ...like seven million bucks for Air Canada to do this, and that amounts to seventy odd cents per ticket (thats Canadian cents) .
A suit by the "Council of Canadians with Disabilities" fueled the decision.
I wonder how long before common carriers follow [suit].
A Beginning.
Amazingly faster will be Broadband Internet access aboard commercial flights. Apparently there is a lot less red tape outfitting planes with internet than issuing flight tickets to the disabled...
