Aero-News: Quote of the Day

ANN's Quote of the Day usually derives from current news, though we reserve the right to pick quotes out of history that have a bearing on the day's events and issues.

Sometimes, you'll find them timely and in keeping with the content of the day's news... and sometimes, they'll just be thought-provoking.

Reader suggestions and comments are welcome... and if particularly intriguing, timely, or poignant, may themselves become future Quotes of the Day.

Let us hear from you, folks!

Aero-News Quote of the Day

Source: Air Canada spokesperson, Peter Fitzpatrick, explaining the regs around alcohol consumption for the airline, as well as for Transport Canada... after one of the airline's pilots was removed from a B777 flight on suspicion of alcohol abuse.
