WestJet accounted for 66 of 114 total disruptive passenger reports last year. AC had 10 and Porter had 6. It's like Carnival cruise line of the sky.

Re: Another pilot job LMIA request

The government offers wage subsidy programs for hiring specific group, or from under-represented groups, or newcomers to Canada. Why would businesses not take advantage? DEI is capitalists pretending to be altruistic. The root issue is the government we elect not business trying to maximize profit.
