Good outcome....now time for a cultural exchange. Take all 520 of them over to Don Cherry's Sports Bar on Hamilton River Road. Warms my cockles to picture 520 Frenchmen and West Coasters mixed in with the significantly more rugged Newfoundlanders.
The good people of Happy Valley are always at their best when adversity hits others. A small community with a big heart. I recall their response (and many other Canadian airports) on 9/11 when everybody extended a welcome to strangers. I am also thinking about the logistics of getting all those folks (and particularly their baggage) swapped over to the two 777s that took them on to LAX via Atlanta, and Winnepeg
Yes, there are great stories of this great town from then.
NOOOO..not Don Cherry's..put them next door at Jungle Jim's and watch fur fly..or send them to Mariners..no that last 1 is a bad idea.
LOL...picked that because we want cultural orientation not culture shock. Besides I read they couldn't get off because they had no stairs to reach.. "Monsieur, I would like to order 520 orders of fresh salmon dinner with 60 cases of Maritime beer".
LOL..yea..true.. Jim's would have been shock..apparently they modified a set of "744" stairs that they use..and I heard tale that WestJet was the operator of the 737 that helped the AF triple 7 fly the pax and crew out.
P.S. should throw in a case of Screech for good measure.
