Gratitude to First Air

Although it has been fashionable lately to decry the performance of First Air’s northern operations, I wish to take this opportunity to publicly thank that company for their assistance.

Twice in the last two months they have implemented their compassionate travel policy to assist members of my immediate family to attend funerals. This has resulted in a saving of several thousand dollars.

Without this saving it would have been impossible for these family members to travel to be with the people they loved at a very trying time. Once again, First Air, thank you.

I also wish to mention that the First Air staff at the Nanisivik Airport have been extremely helpful and considerate in spite of the conditions under which they must work. I also wish to extend my thanks and appreciation to them.
