Rules is rules; whether company policy or national laws. If the plane is airworthy and nothing else is going on, get the weight down to a safe level for landing. BTW both his parents were among the pax so he had extra incentive to have that safe landing.

If it's not, then obviously I'm wrong, but if his parents were on board, I'm sure he did the right thing
I guess it just sort of surprised me when I read an engine had been torn off...and they are looking into environmental issues. But hey, I'm not a commercial pilot by day

Re: AC967
The Captain once flew CF-18's for the Canadian military. Had top marks in a Top Gun competition in the States. Smartest man I know. I've joked with him that if I was ever on the show 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire', I would want him to be my 'phone a friend'.

What are you saying? What's "not how it works"?
I said the 777 was likely light for such a short flight. Do you know what they had in the belly on that flight?
The MLW on the 777LR is not much higher than the MZFW. While we can intelligently speculate the landing was not overweight, it's not a certainty.
Anyways, please do let me know how it works

That the takeoff weight for a six hours flight would be quite low compared to a 15 hours one, much much less than proportional to the ratio between flying times.
Because in long range operation, the fuel load represents a significant fraction of the takeoff weight.
In other words,for a six hours flight, the 777LR takeoff weight will be quite low even if the cargo is more or less normal.
Before WWII, Imperial Airways flew flying boats over the Atlantic. These were unable to take off with a full fuel load and were refueled in flight. A bit scary with high octane gasoline.

Fin 744 was to operate AC142 this morning. Flight is now operated by a 763.
AC4 on 2/11 cancelled of course.
AC2004 will operate 2/12 departing NRT at 22:00.
The arrival time from Flightaware is optimistic. I believe there is a 6:00 curfew at NRT. Flight would arrive at the gate about 6:10 at the earliest.

Incident: Air Canada B788 over Pacific on Feb 10th 2015, engine oil indication
http://avherald.com/h?article=481b1727&opt=0
By Simon Hradecky, created Thursday, Feb 12th 2015 20:50Z, last updated Friday, Feb 13th 2015 22:02Z
An Air Canada Boeing 787-800, registration C-GHPQ performing flight AC-3 from Vancouver,BC (Canada) to Tokyo Narita (Japan), was enroute at FL400 about 1480nm southwest of Anchorage,AK (USA), about to cross from over Bering Sea to over Pacific Ocean about 200nm east of Kamchatka (Russia), when the crew received an engine (GEnx) oil indication and initially set course to divert to Cold Bay,AK (USA) about 1000nm east of their present position before deciding to divert to Anchorage. The aircraft maintained FL400 until reaching the top of descent to Anchorage and landed safely in Anchorage about 3.5 hours after the indication.
The airline reported the crew received an oil indication for one of the engines.
A replacement Boeing 777-300 registration C-FIVX reached Tokyo with a delay of 14:15 hours.
A ground observer reported the left hand engine was being worked on.
The aircraft on the ground, watch the ladder waiting for use on the apron near the left hand engine:

Incident: Air Canada A333 at Calgary on Feb 5th 2015, rejected takeoff due to engine
http://avherald.com/h?article=481bf102&opt=0
By Simon Hradecky, created Friday, Feb 13th 2015 22:29Z, last updated Friday, Feb 13th 2015 22:29Z
An Air Canada Airbus A330-300, registration C-GFAH performing flight AC-850 from Calgary,AB (Canada) to London Heathrow,EN (UK) with 162 people on board, was accelerating for takeoff on Calgary's runway 35R when the crew received an "ENG THRUST LOSS" ECAM indication and rejected takeoff at about 105 knots. The aircraft slowed safely, vacated the runway and stopped on an adjacent taxiway.
The Canadian TSB reported the crew declared PAN, the aircraft remained stationary on the taxiway for 26 minutes before returning to the gate. There was a known issue with one of the control relays relating to an air flow control valve, maintenance replaced the relay and the valve.
A replacement Boeing 767-300 registration C-GSCA reached London with delay of 8:20 hours.
