You gotta admit: you don’t carry life vests in your jockey box, either…

According to Rob Gilles of AP, Air Canada’s inland regional carrier Jazz is removing life vests from all its planes to save weight and fuel.

Before I join the increasingly indignant kerfuffle in response to this story, I took a moment to ponder: how many bodies of water do I drive over in the course of a week?

And when am I going to get around to stashing handy pocket-sized life jackets in the jockey box, for myself and any potential passengers of mine–you know, just in case? Remembering that, unlike those of an Air Canada/Jazz jet, the seats in my Volvo are not approved flotation devices.

Considering this I’ve decided to sit this fight out, with my seat belt securely fastened, until it comes to a complete stop.
