During his flight on Air North, Pierre Gillard spoke with the flight attendant.
 Boarding the Air North ATR 42 for my flight between Whitehorse and Dawson City in the Yukon I am surprised to see that our flight attendant is wearing a flight suit. I also note her French accent during her first announcements.When she passes among passengers to offer drinks and the traditional sandwich of the company, I speak to her in French. During a little pause during this flight of about an hour, she comes to talk to me.
Her name is Christiane and she is originally from France. She arrived in Yukon 17 years ago with her husband to develop the dog sledding activity for tourists.
Some time ago, she decided to let go of this activity, which was becoming somewhat tiring, to become a flight attendant at Air North, a job she loves.
She also explained to me that the flight crew on Air North ATR's, during winter, wear a flight suit, as these planes regularly serve destinations located high up in the north of the country where a temperature of -50C can sometimes prevail. Obviously, the crews also receive coats and boots suitable for polar conditions. So this is the flight suit explanation!
