Heaven(or insert any other fictional place of your choice) forbid,

I'd hire a decent marketing firm... those have got to be the worst commercials ever - I'd have a shareholders meeting and do something about it, or at least get them out of my hockey/baseball broadcasts. It's embarrassing.

And for the record, if I ever happen to leave my cellphone on the plane, and I happen to be selling something second hand.... please do yourself a favour, and avoid the lawsuit by just giving me the phone back....

If you think the ones playing on TV right now are crap - thank god you didnt see the Wesjetiquette ads that never aired. Complete shite. I must say they had a good one with a dog not wanting to go back to his family after the flight.

heres some ideas to help out Westjet

I love flying the airline, but I agree when it comes to the commercials. I usually find myself feeling like wanting to slap the Westjetter by the time those painful 30 seconds have elapsed...

As an "owner", I agree with STL. In my opinion, the WestJet TV commercials are not very good especially when compared with just about every other airline's ads in the States. Check out AirTran, JetBLue, Southwest and Frontier. Having said that, WestJet's ads are effective as a marketing campaign. People now associate WestJet with owner with the implication that when you fly our airline, you'll be dealing with people that give a shit, that want you to enjoy the flight and come back.

And we'll see how effective as the CAW works to rule...

If I were a WJ owner, i'd petition to have a big blown up picture of uncle ralphie on the tails of all the aircraft. Kind of like Alaska Airlines did a few years ago with some inuit guy's pic on the tails. With Ralphie's they'd need to put the bubbles coming out the ears as well. That way customers would think they'd get free booze too.

The only reason why they are "WestJet owners too" is because the company pays their employees shite and must compensate them with worthless WestJet stock options. They should put that in their commercials.

you're absolutely right, that's why I just sold a quarters worth of ESP at 3 grand, and I only spent 1/2 that to get it. Absolutely worthless, thanks for your insight!

You're right, we are paid shite. That's why they put over $3800 in my account yesterday for payday. I'm an f/o btw.

that's steeped.

At least they canned the idoit with the mustache from the crappy tire commercials. I still remember the issue of McLeans with his picture and the headline "what a tool"
