Original Toronto Star caption: Airport Firemen walked out at noon today and shut down about half of air CAnada's normal daily flights at Toronto International Airport. Tom Stoyanoff (right) conducts a study session at Avion Hotel with some of the firemen. Move put airport out of bounds to mig jets. Supervisors manned a skeleton service; but regulations prohibit operation of jumbo and four-engined jets without normal fire crews.
