Power on the Air…

August 6, 2007 | | Leave a Comment

I must admit that I was kind of worried as I boarded the flight from Toronto to Winnipeg this afternoon.  My laptop battery was getting low – only 25 minutes on the indicator, a 2 ½ hour flight ahead and at least that much work.  I was already late and had some presentations to prepare for my assistant supervisor and myself for the meeting with our umpiring crew tomorrow morning and the coaches and managers of the teams tomorrow afternoon. 

As I sat down I was pleasantly surprised. Not only had the wonderful Air Canada agent in Fredericton placed me in an exit row seat – I had some extra leg and laptop room – but there, on the seat back ahead of me, was an AC plug.  How could I have hit this jackpot!  I had heard that this was on its way but hadn’t been witness to this yet. This Air Canada Airbus A320M was a treat. 

On top of all this…that wonderful agent had one more surprise for me.  As the food cart came around and everyone was digging in their pockets – the attendant informed me that mine had already been take care of…:)

Way to go Air Canada.  

BTW….there was even a USB port.  Can on-board connectivity be that far behind?  Who knows… maybe it’s here!
