The First Officer must have had the fish...
Quote:
A Jazz de Havilland Dash 8-300, flight QK-8161 from Edmonton,AB to Calgary,AB (Canada) with 51 people on board, was descending about 55nm north of Calgary when the captain reported the first officer had become ill and was unable to perform his duties. The captain continued the flight to Calgary for a safe landing.

And on Monday:
Quote:
A Westjet Boeing 737-700, registration C-FUWS performing flight WS-538 from Victoria,BC to Calgary,AB (Canada), was descending through 10,000 feet towards Calgary at about 09:00L (16:00Z) when the crew requested emergency services to meet the aircraft due to a crew member injured by turbulence. The aircraft continued for a safe landing on runway 34 about 10 minutes later.
The Canadian TSB reported a cabin crew member had received injuries as result of turbulence enroute.

The worst turbulence I've had on a commercial flight was on this same routing, coming back from Victoria (on WestJet too). As we were descending over the eastern edge of the mountains we go absolutely hammered by turbulence, we were traveling with Littletime (about a year old at that point) and I pretty much had a death grip on her. Lasted about 5 minutes.
