I have flown the same cabin with he and his wife twice. Both times I saw him being approached in the boarding lineup but left alone in the air. He just sits and reads his papers. Many of them.

Does he read G&M?

He walked up in Zone 1 line behind me and was seated beside me. No interaction with people. He ate an omelette with a sparkling water and read the paper. At end of flight we spoke briefly as our bags were overhead next to one another but that’s about it.

I have been on the same flight as him 3 or 4 times too. The only time I saw him interact with anybody besides his wife was when there were a few folks on the same flight traveling for a Hockey Night in Canada broadcast. He talked with a couple of them for a bit, but otherwise was pretty quiet.

I got another celebrity sighting this morning, on the AC7802 YYZ-BNA flight. Spotted both of the Property Brothers at the gate, and they happen to be sitting in the J section of the CRA900 bird.
Drew was sitting 2 rows up from me with his wife, and Johnathan was sitting in the seat in front of me, on the single aisle J seat.
The rest of their crew was sitting in the back.
Too bad so many people on this flight was 'bugging' them at boarding time and de-planing.

A few weeks back I was beside Rick Mercer in the secondary area of the Nexus lane for domestic security at YYZ, both with a false positive. Evidently the travel-size Gillette shaving cream we both had was causing the x-ray machine to be fussy that morning.

I think that dog has reached SE100K status, if only she had her own little AE number.

I was beside Bianca at the check-in counter at FLL on Nov. 25 and only recognized her because of the dog. Saw her shortly after at security, when she was arguing with TSA because her boarding pass didn't have Pre on it, at which point she marched back to the check-in counter. She was on the Rouge flight to YYZ, while I was on the YUL-bound one.

Eeeeek I love Bianca, but she is starting to sound like a DYKWIA if that is how she was behaving!

I mean sure, the BP should have had TSAPre on it, but she should have picked up on that sooner...

Chris Hadfield in the cafe right now.

I’m fairly new here so I’ll share one from a couple of years ago, YUL-YTZ, some guy kicked my seat a repeated number of times throughout the flight. I turned around to get a look at who this person was, and it was none other than GSP.

He was a really chill guy, on the ferry ride back (this was before the tunnel) we spoke about trips to Asia and he told me he was disappointed he didn’t get a Chinese name on his first trip to China (the same way people who come here adopt western names). Pretty wholesome dude, for a guy of his caliber, I felt like I was talking to a friend.

18DEC 2019 AC8732 YUL-YQB: Alain Côté, 802 games with the Québec Nordiques.

His 1987 playoff goal against the Habs was good but Kerry Fraser didn't agree.

He gave up his #19 sweater to Joe Sakic when the rookie joined the team.

A good guy from Matane.

P.S. AC8732 cxl......bit of a mess at YUL tonight.

Seriously, thank you for posting a hyperlink to who this lady is. The sunlight doesn't adequately penetrate underneath my pop-culture rock to enable me to read who most of these people are. Generals and prime ministers notwithstanding.

Seems Manny was heading to YEG for a little basketball.

At YUL just now, gate agent working AC321 to YYC just paged pax Jason Bourne, "Final Call".

Laughter throughout the terminal.

Vikram Vij was at the Cafe last week; I wonder what he thought of the quality of the food.

It's more edible than some of the stuff he's signed his name to onboard AC flights to India.

There's something slightly ironic about an astronaut lacking space.

Have you seen the bags they pack to go into space? Talk about limited carry on space. :p

Just had a nice chat with Jody Wilson-Raybould in the YUL Dom MLL. She is not seeking re-election in 2021, though it was still nice to hear about her experience in the political arena.

Politics is definitely not for the faint of heart!

BC Lions on AC103 - November 5, 2021
 
Lots of big fellas, all dressed nicely, some eating a lot of food. Their equipment manager is handing out K95 masks to team members.

Many broad shoulders or thighs filling into the aisles; I’ll never complain about seat width again.

J/O/Y?

TTC900Rocket Nov 6, 2021 10:54 am

In Y, mostly. From what I can see, they all got an empty seat between themselves.

That was my guess.
Did you see Michael Reilly?

I walked to the back of the plane and got this shot. One player was met by AC agents regarding non-compliance about something. A few players did require reminders about face masks, and the captain did make an announcement.

There was some guy they called TR, but I’m ashamed to say that I couldn’t tell you who Reilly is. I did feel like Rudy standing amongst the players, though.

PK Subban currently in the MLL Intl. @ YYZ. Super nice.
