I gotta ask. Why does WJ insist on calling their customers guests? If I am paying for a service, be it an airline ticket or car wash, doesn't that make me a customer? Most guests are the recipient of a service or hospitality at the invitation of another. Customers on the other hand are patrons that...

If it's on the internet it's gotta' be true!!!

I hope the guitar (that was going as checked baggage) didn't get smashed.
That would have resulted in a viral YouTube video in order to gain compensation.

Thnaks

With climb power set - about 40-45 PSI.
At cruise - about 35-40 PSI.

Rough WAGS .... depends on the aircraft ...

It would almost be worth having corporate security set up a Kijiji purchase "sting" on these vendors.
Just like many have mentioned, it only takes one or two idiots to ruin life for everyone.

You're right, on second glance there does appear to be some good curvature to the top of the balloon ... with enough speed the guys may be able to generate some lift & get it going.

Looks very aerodynamic .............

They can't find enough soccer mums to drive/operate the entire fleet if they switched to mini vans.

Those are interesting costs - eye opening.
Anybody know the operating costs of the Embraer 175 and 190?
That would be an interesting comparison to the 737-600/700 and 800.
Would the 175 and 190 be a better fleet addition than the Q?

yup, much better than living in a world where the glass is broken .....

I do completely understand but for some (Herc Driver) to pass it off as a non event because they are contract workers and not actual WJ employees isn't right either. It is a non-event. I don't blame Air Canada or British Airways when my luggage gets detroyed by Swissport in YYZ. I don't hold WS cul...

The good news is .................. It's not "profit loss" sharing for the 19th straight quarter.
Well done WS.
Good for you guys ... regardless of the size of the cheque .... it's still a cheque coming to YOU.
Enjoy.

There's a guy who's obviously a ground handler in your latest goofy "care-antee" commercial. Yeah, but he doesn't work in YYZ ........ :roll: There are NO WestJet TAC employees below the wing in YYZ. They are all contracted through various providers like Serviceair, Swissport and ATS. Like any othe...

Contracted handlers below the wing in YYZ - not WestJet employees.
Nothing to see here - move along.

It dragged on too long with WJ waiting for SW to actually "do" something (since 2008).
There was a 1 April 2010 tripwire in the MOU.
Gregg decided to move onto bigger things ..... this simply wasn't happening fast enough for WS.
He has decided he has bigger fish to fry ...... good on Gregg.

Go to westjet.com and sign up for their webmail program using an email address of your choice.
You will then receive emails each time a seatsale occurs.
I use the program and I've been very successful with their seatsale emails.

This is standard operating procedure for companies and even government agencies. It's called a "media advisory". It is standard practice and it is the method that public relations and communications departments of various organizations use to coordinate the media response. There is no hidden agenda ...

Hotwings are you kidding me? ------ "Um honey, looks like I gotta go in the desert for a month or two, I know, I know its not what we were planning but look after the kids the best you can, don't get stressed at work and if the dog is still stick then we are gonna have to put him down.

A friend of mine was interviewed in April of 2009, was told he was successful, but (due to the economic downturn) he ended up sitting and calmly and quietly waiting throughout all of 2009. He is on the Monday 4th January 2010 course. So, he sat in "the wading pool" for a good 8 months just biding hi...

Nothing against any airlines as you chaps are just trying to scrape together a living, but this is getting everybody's dandure up a tad ya gotta agree. People are going to be thinking there gotta be places we can go or other things we can do that doesn't require us to go near an airport, let alone ...

Don't worry. There's still expansion and hiring for 2011.

It's OK to dislike one airline or another, or one company or another. We have all had bad experiences with one company or another .... the list is most likely endless. The one nice thing about our free/open market is you get to choose which company you fly with, or which store you shop at .... You h...

Regardless of the "size" of the profit share ..... let's not lose sight of the larger picture here. WestJet just posted its 18th straight quarter of profitability. That's the good news here.

Well done WJ. Looks like your hard work and cost containment has paid off.
