That would be weird. Aircraft lands at Calgary at 4:05 AM in the morning and replacement flight does not depart until 7:30 AM. Stuck at YYC for 3.5 hours with almost nothing open.
Hopefully they were able to get their Elevate lounge open an hour earlier than normally.
As an aside I was looking at trip down to PTY in new year. WestJet was the most logically option, nearly everything else involved a connection through the US (to be avoided if possible) or Toronto. A welcome addition.

On another note, there are some stories floating around that WS is pausing their conversion to non-reclining seats due to backlash from passengers and staff. I did see an interview with their their CEO describing those seat as pre-reclined, whatever that means. Hopefully market pressure will cause them to back track.
