I believe the firefighters will be working a different shift pattern or different number of hours, so that they can still cover the same operational period. But I only heard that second hand, so may be wrong.
Did anyone hear the Vancouver Airports representative on BBC Tees news this morning? Was talking about Mike going, with all the usual "we wish him all the best" spile, but also said something along the lines of "we can't believe how difficult it has been to attract airlines and routes to the airport"
On the one hand, it's great to hear someone from VAS talk about the place (he had a Canadian accent and everything!), but on the other, it still doesn't give you any hope for the future...
