How seeming trivial things can become dangerous
2009/01/24:
The Air Canada Boeing 777-233LR aircraft (C-FIUF) was en-route from Toronto (LBPIA) (CYYZ) to Hong Kong International Airport, Hong Kong (China) (VHHH) when a Flight Attendant noticed smoke and a toxic smell coming from the aft oven. The Flight Attendant shut off the oven and pulled the circuit breaker. While investigating, the Flight Attendant found a partially burnt pair of rubber gloves behind the oven insert.

Another inaccurate report
Nothing to do with AC really, but I didn't think it was worth a seaparate thread.
Here is another example of a press report that can't get their facts straight. Not that the thing was worth reporting in the first place.
"ASA spokeswoman Allison Baker says the 50-seat CRJ-100, build by Canada's Bombardier Inc., hit what officials believe were two birds, but their species has not been determined."
50 seat CRJ100, eh? Where did they find such a strange bird, or is it configured in all F/J?

Incident: Air Canada E190 at Edmonton on Mar 14th 2009, false altimeter setting leads to loss of separation
An Air Canada Embraer ERJ-190, registration C-FHOS performing flight AC-175 from Toronto,ON to Edmonton,AB (Canada) with 98 people on board, correctly read back the altimeter setting 29.42 inches while approaching Edmonton, however set their altimeters to 30.42 inches, therefore descended 500 feet below their assigned altitude and thus lost required separation (1000 feet vertical or 5nm lateral) to a Westjet Boeing with a minimum separation of 500 feet vertical and 2.9nm lateral.
The Westjet Boeing 737-700, registration C-FKWS, was performing flight WS-658 from Abbotsville,BC to Edmonton,AB.
