Like most Westjet flights they start out seasonal, if it does good they'll go year round. At least that is the plan.

Not too worried about any Tri-state fligjhts starting in YYC first. After all, that is WJ's base and AC's prairie hub.

no doubt possitive growth is good. But one extra day in Feb adds 3.5%. Without that, feb gain from last year would be around 6.5% - 7%. Still not bad, but I think the EA's are projecting higher growth.

Is there anything more annoying on the planet than a mime? Because on Sunday in post security, there was a mime walking around - or, you know doing mime things. Now, Im not an expert in PR or advertising or whatever, but I know I hate mimes. And I know that everybody else hates mimes. In fact, I think mimes hates mimes. So, the last thing I want to see after waking up early, getting to the airport, waiting in line, sitting in an airplane, breathing recycled air... is a MIME! At least its not the push up guy.

I wonder if this has something to do with that "Festival City in a Box" thing?

with all this rhetoric from democratic candidates about changes at NAFTA, could this impact development of Port Alberta?
