The Vancouver Sun reports in its Thursday edition that a decision denying an Air Canada flight attendant workplace benefits arising from a scary incident on board an aircraft has been overturned by the B.C. Supreme Court. The Sun's Keith Fraser writes that on May 25, 2012, Kelly Zechel was working as a service director aboard a flight from Tokyo to Vancouver when an acrid smell was detected in the cabin of the aircraft about two hours from Vancouver. An emergency response unit was dispatched to accompany the plane as it arrived at Vancouver airport. Firefighters referred to a "haze" in the cabin caused by an overheated entertainment system. Ms. Zechel thought the worst, brooding over the possibility her two-year-old son would be left without a mother. She received trauma counselling and her family doctor diagnosed her with acute stress and lung irritation and she did not return to work until June 4, 2012. The Workers' Compensation Appeal Tribunal ruled she was not eligible for compensation. Both Ms. Zechel and Air Canada sought judicial review of that ruling and Judge Gary Weatherill found that the November, 2016, WCAT ruling was patently unreasonable. He ordered the matter be sent back for a rehearing.
