Our Last Flight Departing
Description (Dublin Core)
I work as a passenger service agent for a ground contractor on behalf of Air Canada at BWI airport. This is a picture of our last flight departing before Air Canada suspended all flights to BWI until May 1, 2020; time will tell if that date will actually be when flights resume. We usually have 4 flights a day, 3x daily to Toronto and 1x daily to Montreal year round, plus a second daily flight to Montreal in the summer, but they had to be suspended in large part because of the US government restricting all flights from Canada to arrive at one of 13 airports to control the spread of the virus between the two nations. BWI was not included in the list, so flights had to be suspended before the end of March. I suspect the flights were suspended before the 31st due to the collapse in passenger traffic caused by the virus most likely caused our flights to no longer be viable; our flights that usually flew out nearly full were suddenly flying almost empty. We found out two days prior, on Friday, that this flight would be our last and afterwards we’d all be laid off. My supervisor came in on Friday thinking it was a normal day only to find out it was her last day, and the rest of us would be unemployed within the next two days.
