<< SKY MARSHALS Airlines in Canada say the cost of tickets may go up unless the federal government pays for the seats provided to RCMP sky marshals. >> Am I missing something here? Are Canadian airlines so different than the American counterparts? Skymarshalls usually fly in FirstClass and I venture that 95% of the occupied seats in "F" are free upgrades for FreqFlyers. How does this cost the carriers money? Seems the airlines are trying every trick they can to get Govt support and payoffs. Dennis
