Airline Removes Life Vests to Save Fuel

In the unlikely event of a water landing....

Freaking highly unlikely, if you ask me. However, Air Canada's regional carrier, Jazz, has decided to remove those inflatable life vests as a way to cut weight and thereby save some gas. They posit that the seat cushions float, so stop your whining and learn how to tread water while your hair is aflame, sissy-pants.

In case you were wondering, the approximate weight savings per aircraft is about 5o pounds.
