Excuse me, dahrlings, but...

Et Tu WestJet?
Ivanna Gabbalot

According to our American cousins at ASTA, WestJet has
relocated to the U.K., Pumpkins. They reported it in their aptly named ‘SmartBrief’ and I quote “Low-cost
British carrier WestJet will eliminate its seat-back entertainment systems for
flights longer than three hours and 20 minutes.” Does Greg know?

I had a husband like that. Only
discovered he moved out after a neighbour saw him shopping for sheets at
Harrods. And just when we thought we got the Brits
out of our travel systems. Is it not enough, dahrlings, that we are
still dishing through Thomas Cook left-overs?

In other news, I bet the sports world’s spell check is
reeling with how many “i”s to put in Friisdahl. Boy, I did not see
that one coming, Pumpkins.
Who knew Michael Friisdahl’s a
closet jock? Although, if you think about it, what better street cred for a Maple
Leaf Sports & Entertainment prez than having stick handled his way through the
offensives of the Canadian travel industry? A check from a competitor, off the boards pricing, a hotel power play and, of course, the nail-biting winter shoot out. The pugilistic owners at Rogers and Bell know not what they are in for! (Can Flemming skate?)

Part legend, part myth, all woman: Ivanna Gabbalot is OJ’s gossip columnist and considers herself the industry’s conscience. Equally annoying to Open Jaw management and inflated egos in C-suites everywhere, Ivanna works infrequently, preferring to snipe from the sidelines.
