Sunwing have canceled their return charter. And now Air Canada and Air Transat have said they would deny them boarding.
Serves them right. I hope they have to hitchhike back to their new home... in prison.

I find it improbable that this activity was not planned beforehand!
“We’ll be famous and get lots of likes and new followers!”
I hope they all get hit with the maximum fines possible.
Mayhap that will influence them.

Don’t be surprised to see behavior, as far as mask wearing, more in the near future. People everywhere are approaching a point of Covid indifference. Obviously every state in the US, and countries overseas who have strict mask guidelines are experiencing huge outbreaks. Vaccines don’t seem to protect either, so folks are just saying screw it. I have a 99% chance of surviving this virus, which is rapidly morphing into a bad cold. Watch the headlines in the next few months for more refusals to comply with this hysteria.
I’m not endorsing the behavior of these passengers, but I get the sentiment.

Albatross, one report I saw indicated that they were all part of a club so I'm willing to bet that it was pre-planned. Nice to see Air Canada and Air Transat denying them seats now if Westjet steps up it will be a three way sweep.

"Sunwing Party Flight smoker is a future airplane pilot"....."several Quebec pilots recognized her face and immediately contacted the Journal to denounce her."
Another is a student at Lachute Aviation.

Anumber of video clips and photos in this report from Nouvelles TVA. One can see why Transport Canada took notice.

Another group of "influencers" flaunting the rules that apply to us 'regular people'. Linked twitter video in the article shows a woman smoking an e-cig at around 00:30
Hope they all get fined thousands of dollars for this behaviour

But holy shit I was wrong, this women had a work ethic I dont think I have ever seen before, it was supposed to be a planned 7 day shoot or what ever term. They (her and her boyfriend phtographer) knocked off the schedule in 4, boss was happy for them to have 3 days off. They weren't they were being paid for 7 days and they were going to work for 7 days. Came to a compromise we took them to other locations on day 5 and then I took them out on the bosses yacht for 2 days. Purposely took them out of internet connection range

Well, we're not full of dickheads, but sadly, we have our share of them... Fortunately, beautiful Canada is immense, so getting away from dickheads is generally fairly easy (airliner cabins aside)!

Not complaining but I do not understand why this got moved out of Rumours and News to the Canada thread.
It was after all an international flight.
If it had been a flight, for example, from LHR to Portugal or another tropical destination would it have been moved?
Just curious.

FYI About the future airline pilot
Elle dit que ce n’était pas elle mais quelqu’un qui lui ressemble. She says it was not her but another passenger who resembles her.

There is also this comment - which is similar to what I've seen on the Twitter posts of a number of Canadian pilots.
QUOTE:
"Grave erreur
Mehran Ebrahimi, directeur de l'Observatoire international de l'aéronautique et de l'aviation civile, soutient que Vanessa Cosi pourrait ne jamais avoir de carrière comme pilote dans le futur en raison de son manque de jugement.
«Les pilotes ont la vie de nos familles entre les mains. Parfois même par centaine. Le pilotage est une question de technique, mais beaucoup de discernement et de jugement. Je me dis que des gens qui font des erreurs comme ça, ils n’ont pas leur place sur un siège de commandant dans un avion», lance Ebrahimi. "

However, Nouvelles TVA still has the photo posted on their Twitter page. International media has run with it. And there is now a Wiki page https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanda...1_Private_Club
My observation is that if this group had cancelled the trip - given "current conditions", and instead held a private party, photos might have been leaked and posted to social media and they would have been lectured and perhaps contacted by local police or public health. Had they not partied on the flight, there would not be so much outrage. I'm not judging and have no say in the matter. The optics just didn't help.
EDIT TO ADD:
Some great lines here....for perspective.
