Well, when OSS started in YYZ this was certainly not the case, and I’ve never seen it quite so bad. I guess the signage is better for it now, and people know where they are supposed to go?
I know what to do in this situation obviously, I just feel bad for the VBITs (we call them FOTSGs now?) who wouldn’t know any better than to sit in that enormous lineup. And I’d prefer to skip the security clear if it didn’t involve such a long customs queue.
