I just took a quick look at the ZED travel airline list, counted 101 different carriers. I don’t know how that compares to AC, but the list contains a lot of global majors and some random small carriers as well. Pretty comprehensive list, and it has been useful. Can’t really go anywhere right now though..

Do you work for WJ ?
Or need to know this before your interview next week ?

I'll try and post a legitimate reply to your question instead of just a smart ass moment.

The MyIdTravel site is run by Lufthansa, so it lists all the carriers that are registered with them. Just because it is in the drop down list it doesn't mean we have an agreement with the Carrier. Pick a random European one or even Delta, and try and list yourself, it won't let you and will tell you it is not a valid listing. As far as who we actually have an agreement with other than AC, I can't tell you. Haven't looked into it that much to be honest. But the times I did try to list with a US or European Carrier, it didn't let me. Not much help, sorry.

Is WJ hiring ?
VNAVLNAVLPV, maybe you can find someone to email you the westjet login ID and password and jumpseat agreements.

I think VnavLnav is screwing with us lol. Although we all know the airlines have been basically hiring next to no experience up until the Wuhan Virus decimated us, there is no way someone at AC thinks that WJ is currently hiring, or any airline for that matter. Old Lnav there just got the axe along with 20,000 fellow AC employees today, so I wouldn’t think Zed fares would be the deciding factor on whether to “make the jump” lmfao, Good one Lnav, you got me with your first post when I thought you were legit.

As someone who does a lot of International travelling - I should warn you that all the flights I've been on since March have been completely full.

If you want to go somewhere - buy a ticket. Jmho.

Quite a few airports have not been able to ramp up to meet the passenger volumes. Shortage of staff in critical areas such as Security, Baggage handling and check-in. 5 hour queue for security/immigration at some places.

Due to the security screening requirements for new applicants in addition to the training times - I would not expect this to be solved this Summer.

Not forgetting a lot of Airlines have mismanaged their Pilot numbers and are facing crew shortages.

Travel is a living Hell at the moment - I'm only doing it as part of my job.
