Chagrin Falls

I imagine you’ve already heard/read about the party plane headed from Montreal to Cancun. It was the chartered flight for a group of Quebec influencers and reality show stars.

What, you may ask, is an ‘influencer?’ It seems this is just the new term for celebrity shill. Now though, in addition to teevee and movie stars, influencers include folks who’re popular on Tik Tok, Instagram and such. These mouthpieces are referred to as micro-influencers or even nano-influencers.

Is this just high school clique bullshit? Buy/do/believe what I’m showing you and you’ll be popular too! Yup.

I know, I know, you all knew all about this absurd phenomenon eons ago. I am, as uszh, late to the party and have been ignoring all the the loud, shiny, grossly inflated self-esteemers.

So, this flight from Canada to Cancun was filled with maskless young dolts, hyped up on their imaginary importance and worth.

Passengers were seen in videos vaping, dancing, drinking and crowd surfing on a Dec. 30 Sunwing flight from Montreal to Cancun.

Aviation experts say the behaviour on the plane was not only violating pandemic public health measures, but risked the safety and security of those onboard. (source)

Crowd surfing in flight? Yeah, that sound safe. Like...totally.

The flight back to Montreal for this crowd of privileged twats was cancelled. (Two other carriers—Air Canada and Air Transat—refused to fly this crowd of privileged twats home too. GOOD!)

Sunwing said in a statement that its decision to cancel the group's flight back to Canada was "based on the group's refusal to accept all terms and our security team's assessment that non-compliance would be likely based on their previous disruptive onboard behavior.” (source)

The group’s main objection? No inflight food service for the five hour flight. Poor little influencers will get hungry. Fer fuck’s sake, buy a sammie, Kit Kat and a cuppa from a goddamn kiosk before boarding, you imbecilic idiots! Do you need mommy to hold your hand?!

One of the partyers has already tested positive for COVID and is isolating in a hotel outside Cancun.

She said she didn't know how she was going to pay for the extended hotel stay during her isolation.

Welcome to the consequences of your dimwitted choices, dearie.

As of yesterday 27 of the approximately 130 party fools had been able to return to Montreal. Good luck getting home to the other 103—maybe they can catch a Greyhound bus.

Here’s the one piece of this lunatic tale that makes me happy—this time around, the selfish fucks weren’t U.S. citizens. I think we’ve embarrassed ourselves enough—it’s someone else’s turn.
