Re: Vancouver security / slot
Why the f##k would you want to confirm this on avcanada? Check the notams.
Re: Vancouver security / slot
NOTAMs read 25 March 2010 midnight local time all restrictions on the airspace lifted.
But a recent email from PFC management states:
Effective Midnight March 12, 2010 (that’s March 13 for all intents and purposes), WE’RE BACK TO NORMAL. YEP, THAT’S RIGHT – BUSINESS AS USUAL. NO RESTRICTIONS, STUDENT SOLO ALLOWED, NO NEED FOR THOSE OLYMPIC MAPS…..

Why don't the Para-Olympics warrant the same "security considerations" as the regular Olympics?

Terrorists discriminate against the physically challenged.

Re: Vancouver security / slot
Less risk of a terrorist attacking the opening ceremonies for the paraolympics and injuring or crippling a mass number of people?
No trees were harmed in the transmission of this message. However, a rather large number of electrons were temporarily inconvenienced.

Re: Vancouver security / slot
My guess is they ran out of money to pay for security.
The hardest thing about flying is knowing when to say no
After over a half a century of flying no one ever died because of my decision not to fly.

Re: Vancouver security / slot
Or the bottom line really is that they just put in the para olympics as a formality but deep down don't really care about it... at least not enough to spend another 900 million dollars on security...Cat Driver wrote:My guess is they ran out of money to pay for security.

The whole world is against Terrorists. If they were to bomb the Olympics, thats one thing. But if they want the whole world marching up their a$$es, all they need to do is bomb the para olympics.kevenv wrote:Why don't the Para-Olympics warrant the same "security considerations" as the regular Olympics?
Even Bin Laden is sitting in his board room in a cave somewhere saying "Oh Abdul, I like your idea, but honestly... what are we going to gain by bombing legless Johnny?"
these attacks are publicity stunts to assist them in gaining momentum. Its a trade off, and bombing the Para Olympics is not going to work out in their favor, so it wont be done. They have nothing by an ass whooping coming their way for doing so.

What could be worse then maiming and crippling the crippled and maimed?

Re: Vancouver security / slot
So, skyboy, how was it?
I'm hoping to fly tomorrow, and I've successfully confused myself with the contradiction in PFC's message versus the NOTAMs.
