Not sure why a pilot would need to take control of a gate area. Also if you really need to be somewhere without too much delay don’t fly on an airline with limited equipment or departures. 

Apparently the passengers have been refunded. That’s a positive but still doesn’t get you there.

and says that while some passengers were rude to airline staff at the gate desk, none of them posed a threat.

From a passenger who videoed the whole event.Like she could tell if somebody was going to take a swing!

I imagine Flair has contracted out gate handling....after 12 hours and the way passengers are these days (mouthy and too much attitude), the Capt. probably called for the cops to be there for security as the crew deplaned.

Probably correct about their contracted ground handling. When things go south like this no one really care or makes informed decisions.

But it was evidently the Pilot who called in the cops.

Flair Airlines has apologized for a situation at Vancouver International Airport that saw a pilot call the police to deal with frustrated passengers at the gate, some of whom had been waiting 14 hours before their flight was eventually cancelled.

Anybody else catch the hypocrisy of self appointed passenger advocate Gabor Lukacs, who now WORKS for Flair Air, chastising THE RCMP, saying this was a civil matter.  They were called by employees of the company he now works for.  I wouldn't expect any impartiality from this know-it-all-who-knows- nothing, from now on.

Any other airlines, who have 12 hour delays, he burns to the ground.  Now silence.

What are the RCMP suppose to do when they are called BY Flair; not show up?

Hypocritic.

Gabor changes his tune when the shoes on the other foot. That should pretty much blow what little credibility he has right out of the water.
