A half empty airplane can't be good for business.
Probably because the same flight was threatened the day before if I'm reading this correctly.
My guess is that the F-15s at PDX were already on alert and the FA-18s at Comox were not.
UMM!! American fighter escourt. Guess the Canadian Voodos were down for maintenance
I guess that's one way to get through a bad economy - outsource the military.
