While expect they'll manage to eradicate all reindeer I'm doubtful their efforts will eradicate all the rats. That process will probably have to continue just to keep them to acceptable levels.

I travelled with Aerolineas Argentina a few years back, shocking! Some seats were missing, some oxygen masks detached from overhead every time we hit turbulence and one of the cabin crew said she was scared and confided that she hated this route because 'the pilot was not the best'...
Lord preserve us!
