This week the Toronto Globe and Mail reported that Kris Lines woke up on an Air Canada flight in an airport hangar an hour and a half after landing in Vancouver. Lines, who had come from London for a sports law conference, says he was nudged awake by a mechanic. The airline says that since it was the last flight of the day for that aircraft, it wasn't cleaned and checked, but just rolled into the hangar, with the snoozing professor aboard. Lines says that legendary Canadian hospitality made him think it was just "a local custom kind of thing."
