Wow. Boarding YYC - YYZ today at gate 56. Collided with YVR departure right beside at gate 58 which was running late.

It’s one of the Lion 330’s so an already busy Z1 route was even busier than usual. Add to it the construction on the lounge at that end of the terminal, so it’s a total cluster of humans. Maybe halfway through Z1, which was closing in on 8 or so minutes, a guy speaks up “if you are zone 2 can you please make a path for everyone in zone 1 so they can get by you please”. It was awesome. Hat off to you blue shirt crowd manager guy. Who himself was a Z1 but ushered all the Z1’s past him before he boarded once he parted the Red Sea.

GA’s did nothing to manage the constant barrage of Z2-5’s while trying to load Z1 through a construction zone on top of a YVR boarding. They need to put a primary stop point in front of the general boarding area there while that construction is happening.

In other news, these planes are kinda cool. I like the wine bottle holder. Is that what it is? It’s what it should be anyways.
