Time Air To Study

Cassiar Complaints

Lost luggage, delayed
flights, cancelled flights and
poor service are all included in
a long list of complaints re-
ceived by Time Air from Cassiar
and Watson Lake residents.

Jennifer Leach-Trask, mana-
ger for Time Air at Fort Nelson,
contacted by phone recently, rea-
dily admitted that service has
deteriorated drastically over the
past couple of months. "I have
circulated the complaints to the
interested parties, and to our
head office in my last report,"
Trask informed us. "As a result,
we are meeting immediately and
will F leased to keep you in-
formed ot our decisions."

Time Air has’ had operating
authority. into Watson Lake for
the past year and although there
have been some ongoing complaints
(some can be expected by any air-
line servicing this area), there
has been a dramatic increase in
complaints from the Cassiar area.

The Watson Lake connection
is important to the residents of
Cassiar as it is the closest
connection for the area. Alter-
native routes from Terrace or
Whitehorse require a_ great deal
more driving time and are there-
fore less desirable.
