"While the duo were not charged criminally, Wright said the women were taken into custody and held in a police station over night where there’s no snacks, reclining seats, in-cell entertainment or bar service."
A jail cell must be horrendous: no snacks, no recline, no entertainment, no bar. Could you imagine spending any time in such conditions? SuperMax, 737Max, now I get it...

789 in YYR; diverted from YYC-FRA
This is an unusual sight in Goose Bay.
May 28, YYC-FRA had an engine oil pressure issue near Greenland and diverted to Goose Bay.
They're flying in a replacement 789 to deal with the 250 pax.
They flew 7 people in from YYT with us to deal with the plane. Mechanics, loaders/unloaders (there's a risk of damaging the aircraft if you don't know what you're doing), etc.
Given how late YYR staff had to stay around, it wouldn't surprise me if some if the 7 we're checkin staff too.
I wonder if you can book this...
And here we are sitting on a Q400 that is out of many of the BVRGs we want.

It's not on floats, it has a hull with retractable gear. Most CL-215/415s are yellow, some are white; this is the notorious Peas 'n Carrots scheme unique to NL: https://www.google.com/search?client....0.hwJonhjEmU8
