I've had that same butter chicken dish - tastes as bad as it smells.

I believe it was due to the infamous serial J food burner (who might also burn cereal).

Possibly an equipment swap due to operational issues? AC664 is usually an A320.

To note, the 333 on YUL-YHZ-YUL ended as of 30SEP. Widebody service, using the few remaining 763s, was re-introduced on YYZ-YHZ-YYZ instead.

CTV gets their news from Tom. He posted this 18 hours ago, although his employer seems a bit slow to post.

What's a little bit of wingtip tag between friends?

An Air Canada Boeing 787-900, registration C-FNOH performing flight AC-833 from Toronto,ON (Canada) to Tel Aviv (Israel) with 296 passengers and 12 crew, was enroute at FL350 about 50nm northwest of Deer Lake,NL (Canada) when cabin crew noticed an oven in the economy class galley emitted smoke. The oven was shut down and cleaned, the smoke and odour dissipated. The aircraft continued to destination for a safe landing about 8 hours later...

So let’s see... AC stationery plane is hit by a moving plane, at LGA, and yet the CBC thinks this is good opportunity to link this to the SFO incident. I just don’t see how the two are in any way related.

I am in no way an AC apologist and I agree. Someone has a grudge.

There was an injury........... drum roll please;
"a 38-year-old woman on the American Eagle flight suffered a neck and back injury."
Is anyone surprised? No doubt the poor dear will be suffering excruciating, debilitating pain from the bump.

The question I have is whether or not the AC plane was stopped where it was supposed to be. Based upon my experience with American Eagle, I'm going to hazard a guess that the US aircraft was a tad hasty.

I figure that the writer thought his article was too short and used the SFO recap as filler.
