Wanna be home though," another passenger tweeted.Nav Canada did not immediately return emails and phone calls asking for comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjet Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Flew in last night and didn't realize any thing was wrong until we checked in with arrival. His response was you're #1 all star speeds canceled call the field in sight. We were the only one on frequency all the way in. It felt very weird. I'm glad it's back up and running.Cjet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
