Oh I see. That's weird though because I always hear Air Canada employees bitching about the company, and a couple of my friends recently quit from them because they were being mistreated for having mental health concerns. Whereas WestJet is considered one of the top three best employers in Alberta and treat their employees incredibly well, even their call centre employees get stock benefits and shit.
Mohkínstsis — 1.6 million people at the Foothills of the Rocky Mountains, 400 high-rises, a 300-metre SE to NW climb, over 1000 kilometres of pathways, with 20% of the urban area as parkland.
Reminds me of how my stepdad refuses to fly Air Canada, and will actually pay more on Westjet simply because the former is unionized.
I'll go for whatever's cheaper, and if it's equally priced (as it often is, down to the dollar) usually pick AC as they have nicer planes and I find the service to be more or less on par. They both kinda suck though, although better than flying domestic in the US. I used to love Porter but service quality has dropped in recent years, though getting a free beer is still nice. Domestic flights in South Africa were head and shoulders above anything I've experienced in North America, with full service on even the discount airlines.
Lmfao, yeah. Damn those uppity Westjetters, demanding fair treatment and such.
Anywho, yes I obviously understand that it was a business move, but it was still thoughtful and, if Westjet could mobilize that quickly, Air Canada could have done the same in at least a reasonable amount of time instead of financially gouging customers, with the lowest number of planes possible without actually being criminally negligent.
You are still ignoring that the oil patch is Westjet's hub with the relationships and infrastructure in place to respond much quicker than Air Canada could. The gouging was a clerical error .. an automated response to people switching flights .. which the media blew up as the usual populist response that sells subscriptions over simply reporting the situation.
She just keeps getting better... what an amazing addition.

I'm heading out of town tomorrow so I'll get a good view of the Bay Park tower going up...I'm curious on seeing how it looks with it's cladding on.(I mean physically, not through these photos)
While technically true, keep in mind that a majority of Westjet employees are part of different unions, with the attendants being part of CUPE, while the pilots being part of ALPA (AirLine Pilots Association)

Speaking of the one the second lower floor parking is almost ready to be poured. These were taken Tuesday so they may have actually already started pouring.
*sigh*, Soon Stantec and Telus Sky will be off that list and it'll just be Toronto towers for the first time in ages... and will likely last for a long time, that is unless Quebec City's Tour Phare and Edmonton's Aldritt Tower fantasies becomes reality.

Looks like a year left to go on Telus Sky. Could be the first time ever Toronto has the list for itself. The only city that boomed high rises while the rest of the country stagnated was 1990s Vancouver.
