Reassuring

An off-hand remark in this CBC article about Air Canada job cuts:

An ACTS spokesperson told Canadian Press that many airlines, including Air Canada, are deferring maintenance work because of the financial pain being caused in the industry by rapidly rising fuel costs.

That's definitely the best way to deal with the financial pain being caused by rapidly rising fuel costs. Cut back on non-essential things like maintenance of your airplanes.

Also, ACTS used to be called Air Canada Technical Services. But now they're officially just called ACTS. Kind of like CN Rail is most certainly not Canadian National Rail. and KFC is simply KFC, not Kentucky Fried Chicken. Makes perfect sense to me.
