Although airlines throughout the world operate on Greenwich Mean Time so far as their crews are concerned, the journey of over 1,500 miles from Winnipeg to Vancouver involves three local time zones: Central Time, Mountain Time, and Pacific Time.

It is hardly necessary to add that the events, the airlines, and all the persons mentioned are entirely fictitious. Views: 72
