Angry in the Great White North

GTAA board takes action to save jobs -- their own

People are losing jobs in this recession, and it is good to hear of a company trying hard not to lay off employees.  In this case, though, the Greater Toronto Airports Authority board of directors is taking action to save their own jobs.

Oh well.  Still counts, I guess.

In any case, the GTAA is admitting that the correct response to the discovery of a security breach is to close the security breach, and not to attack the people who found the breach.

An interesting response from the GTAA regarding the security breach

The GTAA has responded to the ballsy move by Transport Minister John Baird and Senator Colin Kenny to breach security at Pearson International Airport in Toronto.

They just walked onto the tarmac, where planes loaded with men, women, and children were idling, loaded with thousands of gallons of highly flammable jet fuel.

The response from the GTAA?  Withdraw the privileges from the four RCMP officers who quietly accompanied the pair, for not having stopped the two from making fools of the GTAA board.

I have a response of my own, directed to the board.

We should fire...you...all.

John Baird and Colin Kenny: Men of action

John Baird and Colin Kenny, Conservative Transport Minister and Liberal Senator, respectively, broached security at Pearson International Airport in Toronto. 

Good for them!
