Is there an airport hotel nearby (to answer my own question: no, YDF doesn't have any actual airport hotels)? Those will occasionally take those vouchers, though $10 will hardly cover anything.
The weather in AB was terrible Fri - Sun so I canceled my camping trip. Now on Monday it's sunny and 23

When are the new compensation rules in effect? And are they only for international flights?
in Europe for more than 4h delay you get 600 euros if I remember correctly.

Had 2 flights delay 2+ hours yesterday and got 2 x $10 and a taxi voucher at YEG. Not horrible. Both flights had mechanicals.....are these on the increase as they are pushing she fleet to the Max? LOL

The new rules for delays don't come into effect until December 15, but I'm not convinced they'd apply here. The reason for delay is mechanical, and those are expressly excluded
I was thinking of finding a nearby WS pilot and getting them to buy everyone a pizza

They actually brought in pizza just now after I called them out on the cert being useless. Glad they did end up feeding us!
