Airline Saves Weight, Money by Removing Life Vests - GoFuckYourself.com

Jazz, Air Canada's regional carrier, says it will remove life vests from all its flights to cut weight and fuel costs. Transport Canada allows the use of floatation devices instead of life vests if the plane stays within 50 nautical miles of shore.

Woody French, one critic of the move says "A lot of these airlines say 'Well, our passengers are our main concern.'...We're a distant second. Profits are the first." and called it a cheap move. He plans a letter of protest to the transport minister.

Jazz spokeswoman Manon Stuart said Jazz's flights are within the regulations to provide only seat cushions as flotation devices and noted "Transport Canada was satisfied...and they approved the change."

The change saves about 25 Kg. per flight.
