Air Canada Flight Delayed By Cat In The Cockpit (Huffington Post)

An Air Canada flight was delayed Wednesday because of the antics of a cat on the loose.

Ripples, 10, was on a Halifax to Toronto flight with his owner when he got loose from his improperly fastened carrying case, reports The Globe and Mail.

“They were of course first looking [for Ripples] in the cabin, as I understand it. Then it became apparent that it had gone into the cockpit,” Peter Spurway, vice-president of corporate communications for the Halifax Airport Authority, told National Post.

ahhhh... poor Ripples, he must have been so scared, all that noise and commotion. I'm happy that he was calmed down and made his flight. I wonder if he got any treats?
