I think this is pretty positive news and makes up somewhat for the practice field challenges the team has.
I know some CFL teams have offered travel packages for fans to attend road games travelling on the same charter as the team. Perhaps an option for the future.
That's a sweet perk! Considering the ridiculous seating configuration of regional jets. Can you imagine a 6.6 320 pound man sitting in economy on a Tango flight. Probably more painful than playing the game.
The fan plane is this Saturday. Who's going? I am (ro1313, Lestaf and his wife are too). It was a great time last year and I highly recommend it. I managed to get almost all of the players and coaching staff to sign my bass drum head which was proudly displayed at Les Gars Qui Vivent Grey Cup tailgate party last year in Toronto.
For those of you who went last year, my sincerest apologies. I'm the guy you waited for on the tarmackin Mirabel:-. First round of drinks are on me (I owe you that at the very least).haha. I promise not to be late this year. Believe me, I heard it from the good folks at the Alouettes front office this morning.
As a long time bus driver once said many many years ago, "If you are not here when we leave, make sure you have a camera to take a picture of the back of the bus".
