This might explain the real reason they pulled their 787 from Toronto, (if this is true): https://www.flightglobal.com/networks/westjet-lands-slots-to-launch-calgary-dubai-flights-in-march-2023/150953.article "Canadian airline WestJet looks poised to launch flights between Calgary and Dubai beginni...

It would seem the current standby priority system works. What doesn't work is having multiple employees commuting. Trying to change a working standby system to fix another issue doesn't make sense. WestJet should look at investing in hotels at their hub cities and providing commuters cheap standby r...

"Today, WestJet and our partner Delta Air Lines withdrew our joint application before the U.S. DOT for antitrust immunity and as a result, we will not be implementing the proposed Joint Venture at this time.

I don't get it. You were aware the airline has a minimal old fleet of 767; which you should know that limits options for recovery. You admitted to being cheap and taking a chance on a connection to save a few bucks. Your run into a mechanical issue that all airlines are faced with and you come on he...

A few months ago I posted that Greg (dont know why he needs an extra G) was a union busting loser and that I didnt understand the need for Swoop. Ive said it before in other discussions off the internet, I dont get the point of Swoop. So you're saying, despite the issues with the union, Gregg, (who...

"So we'll be flying these international routes between 7 o'clock in the morning and 10 o'clock in the morning." It's 7 - 10 PM not AM. And it's not the arrival times as these flights arrive after 11 AM I'm guessing whoever wrote the article may have got confused with tickets going on sale at 10 o'cl...

WestJet Airlines Ltd. says its ultra low cost Swoop airline will soon begin transborder service as it looks to regroup from a "deeply disappointing" second quarter when it was hurt by the impact of a pilot strike threat, intensified competition and soaring fuel costs. From the CBC article: https://...

Getting back on topic, now that Swoop is just a Westjet plane painted in pink, was this ULCC venture a major mistake for the company? It forced unionization and degraded the stock. FA's will surely threaten a strike to get what they want. Which group is next to unionize? Operating Swoop as a separat...

It wasn't below the radar especially when the launch was delayed. Everyone was just distracted by everything else going on at WestJet. https://globalnews.ca/news/3879534/westjet-flights-western-canada-airline-flying-westjet-link-pacific-coastal/ http://calgaryherald.com/business/local-business/takeo...

WestJet announced they were reducing their 767 London service back in January. The CBC article makes it seems like it just happened. http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/business/fewer-westjet-uk-flights-409737355.html Despite the issues this month, reliability seems to be way up from last year.

WestJet Pilots Seek ALPA Representation WASHINGTON, D.C.—WestJet pilots filed membership cards today with the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) to hold an election for representation by the Air Line Pilots Association, International (ALPA). “WestJet pilots told us they are ready for a certifi...

"(iv) WestJet's Boeing 737 MAX 7 and MAX 8 aircraft orders can each be substituted for the other model of aircraft, or for Boeing 737 MAX 9 aircraft." What so magical about that? The MAX 9 has almost the same range of the MAX 8 with better yield. So don't be surprised if more MAX 9 "magically" appear.

I just want to know when this "In addition, the airline will also increase its number of non-stop flights between Montreal and Vancouver from six per week to 12" is happening. I don't want to spend 30 hours trying to get back to Vancouver like I did a few days ago. In summer schedule the airline is...
