Saves Less Than 100 Lbs Per Plane... But Every Little Bit
Helps
Let's imagine for a minute that you own a major airline
(first off, we're sorry -- Ed.) If there
was a piece of equipment onboard your planes that adds weight, but
is seldom used -- and may be of dubious assistance if it is called
upon -- might it be prudent to remove that equipment, in order to
save those pounds and, by extension, even a small bit of fuel? Air
Canada's regional affiliate, Jazz, says yes... but some object to
what the carrier recently removed from its planes: the life
vests.
