CBC this AM is reporting that the young lady who gave a very accurate and clear report on what she heard on the tower freq and a clear description of events during this over run has been kicked of the "Airport Watch" team, Benoit, the airport manager claims that they have a "no talk" rule for these folks, she claims she has never signed such a form, I prefer to go with her version, it seems the heat may be getting a bit too much for Benoit now that the media is clueing in on the third world conditions at CYOW and money spent on waterfalls and frills rather than improving safety, just wish the media would do some REAL reporting on this, but the local CBC is totally gutless and CTV not much better, its hard to remember that this nation was once a world leader in anything!
