He should perhaps read and learn from the poster "Dagger"'s comments. Now there's someone who's forgotten more about the industry than Realitychex will ever know... With all due respect to Dagger, a simple look at their respective resumes would tell a different tale. One is a PR/Advertising guy and...

I'd suggest that the opposite it likely true based on his resume.

HACCP people don't allow this practice anymore.

If execs really wanted to know how stupid pilots are, they'd visit an airline forum. Usually the posts with the term "douchebags" in them are a good starting point.

Where you been bean? Not getting much traction on the grown up forum so over here preaching how smart you are to the junior class?! LOL... In fairness, that forum has been beyond readable for the last year unless you like hearing old timers chime in on politics and terrorism. Yeah some guys are pre...

His job is to push things as much as possible to raise the stock price as much as possible , what does he care , worse comes to worse , a union gets in the execs get to blame him , fire him and he gets a 10 mill handshake , would you really care if that's what waited for you if you &(":ed your job ...

Saretsky's legacy is going to be that he was a great numbers guy who brought a few years of record profits but ultimately destroyed the culture and brought in unions. Him and Ferio just can't keep themselves from choking the goose that lays the golden eggs Gregg is the face of the company, but he e...

Q1 Operating Margin

- WS - 16.91%
- AC - 3.4%

There are some good things starting to happen at AC, but when it comes to profitability, they rank the lowest of the NA majors.

Your seats are not assigned until you check in, maximum 24 hours before the flight. If you look at the seat selection tool now only those seats for which passengers have paid to select them will show as occupied. So therefore, if all the aisles and windows were paid for, then it's completely possib...

Doesn't the prospect of paying for a particular product and getting an inferior one without choice cause you some degree of trepidation? If you heard your favourite steak restaurant all of the sudden started bringing people a hotdog when they ordered a prime cut steak, would you say "oh, well, I'll...

Wj as most wj employees who've been around for a while all tell you it's dead. That doesn't mean we don't do things well it's just we've changed. I wouldn't be too concerned about us faltering just yet... My point is not "Westjet is dead"............I meant the Westjet that modeled itself after an ...

I wonder if this is a preemptive strike against WestJet. If their foray into the DUB market goes well, WestJet are on record as saying it will determine whether they pursue further business in Europe and they recently advised that the DUB sales were better than expected, so I'm sure AC is looking at...

This article and included video sum it up for me. In my 20 years in the airline business, I've seen numerous studies that suggest that professional and monotone safety demos do a great job of the bare minimum... advising passengers what the regulatory agencies require. Unfortunately, these straight ...

So often, I'm reminded that a huge percentage of people in the airline business are total idiots. It's so sad. I often wonder if good people get changed by the industry, or if the industry just attracts idiots.

Hard to say sometimes.

Loopa, keep the positive attitude!

This is more of a Bob C. scheme/legacy.

There are plans in place to reprint soon.

It's great how positive WJ employees are towards their employer. Wish I had that where I work. However, there has never been a "dark and stormy night" at your company.... yet. With multiple aircraft types, multiple bases and multiple pay structures (work conditions), you have officially killed the ...

According to: http://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/agc/ReAllocation/media/LGAABundle_Bids.pdf The high bid for both LGA bundles were $32,000,050.01. The 2nd highest bid for both was $17,600,001. I'm guessing the $32 mil bidder (Jet Blue) only wanted 1 bundle so the other bundle ...

LGA is going to be a very strategic hub for WS partnerships with AA and DL. If it turns out that the slots are too much, WS can sub lease them to any of the carriers who were eligible to bid during this auction (ie. Southwest, Jetblue, Allegiant, Frontier, etc...) after 6 months of operation. Based ...

I think the AME's at Air Canada (um...Aveos) negotiated their wages. I wonder how happy they are?

They absolutely do.

Think "sked enhancements"

Just checked it again. On flights originating in Hong Kong to saskatoon return use AC for the canadian portion, Hong Kong to Calagary all AC for tommorow. Halifax next week is all AC. I did find a few WS flights too edmonton but the majority I'm finding are with AC. also WS isn't offering any CX de...

Has anyone heard any stories of what the other airlines who had people at this resort have done? I would expect that they've all done something similar, we're fortunate to have great airlines with caring employees in this country. I don't believe anyone else sent an aircraft down there. Of the 5 th...

Time to repaint the Care-antee airplane. What happened? We will not charge you for two checked bags. At WestJet we think it's reasonable to bring two checked bags. Just make sure they're within our size and weight limits. For details check out our baggage info page. This is what happened... http://...
