Re: Westjet invades LON
Wow...I wonder if they will be lucky to fill half of the seats with the frequency of flights? Plus, no hot meals and kool-aid antics for ten hours blah blah lol!
Re: Westjet invades LON
Yes, there are hot meals on the 767. If the current flights to Dublin and Glasgow are any sign, they will have not problem filling seats.LivingLife wrote:Wow...I wonder if they will be lucky to fill half of the seats with the frequency of flights?

Re: Westjet invades LON
LMAO! Anything gets you owners worked up! Maybe this will too....I'd gladly pay more to fly with AC, IMO more professional and better service. It's true what they say, you get what you pay for;)
Re: Westjet invades LON
Re the meals, there is no mention of meal service when you are offered the flights through the westjet booking site. So are we to conclude there are no meals offered or perhaps that the site has yet to be updated to indicate meal service? The only meal mention can be found at: http://www.westjet.com/pdf/travel/basic ... enu-en.pdf and this only mentions the limited domestic service. The AirCanada site continues to show the applicable meal service for each flight.
Re: Westjet invades LON
Will these flights be augmented or is it just two tired pilots flying through the night for 9-10 hours?

Unfortunately, that incident changed nothing with respect to how Air Canada mitigates pilot fatigue and, more importantly, how Transport Canada and the Conservative government of Canada view pilot fatigue. Passengers were paid off and I am amazed at how quiet that incident was. It should have been the catalyst for positive change in the name of safety. Canada has the WORST fatigue mitigation in the world with no respect for Circadian rhythm. I was hoping Westjet would voluntarily raise the standard cuz Air Canada won't until it is written in blood.leftoftrack wrote:Till something like the Air Canada incedent heading to Zurich happens, WS isn't unsafe they're economicaljjj wrote:2 tired pilots FlyGuy.

Re: Westjet invades LON
It was always "augmented". The RP sat in the back of the plane sipping Malbec through the dead of night over the Atlantic with only 2 operating pilots because it was under 9 hours block time but was an active crew member for the return flight that is over 9 hours... you know, for the daytime flight where Circadian Rhythms are not as impacted. Nothing has been improved as far as mitigating Crew Fatigue.leftoftrack wrote:Didn't Air Canada start augmenting that flight?yycflyguy wrote:

Unfortunately, Canada is nowhere near the worst in the world with fatiguing schedules. Try not to get carried away with the rhetoric.yycflyguy wrote: Canada has the WORST fatigue mitigation in the world with no respect for Circadian rhythm.

Re: Westjet invades LON
CARS duty regs are worse than the Americans, Europeans... Maybe the worst in the civilised world?
They are worse than ICAO standard so maybe worse than much of the rest?
Who's worse? What's the schtick?
