      What a rigmarole:

      > [Dias] and his partner booked a holiday flight from Winnipeg to Toronto. Dias says his partner, who is six feet, five inches tall, already struggles with limited legroom.

      > Dias says the couple contacted WestJet in advance and **were told a doctor’s note confirming his partner’s height would be sufficient.**

      > “Both of us were told that if we were to get a doctor’s note attesting to his height that would be fine,” Dias told Global News. After submitting the note, he says **they were then told a new online medical form also had to be completed by their physician.**

      > That form, Dias says, was **a 12-page PDF requiring detailed information and signatures.** He says their doctor refused to fill it out, calling the request unreasonable.

      What in the world is going on inside that company?

      It’s time to end this fiasco and allow US airlines to fully operate in Canada.

      Both WestJet and Air Canada are incapable of providing good service at a reasonable price.

      Holy F. What a waste of doctors time. A note to confirm height, ffs?
      Drivers license have heights listed- there’s proof, and an official govt ID.
      I don’t travel much, and I certainly won’t be using WestJet. I hope something is done about their crap.

      WestJet is a fucking terrorist entity at this point. I’ve been flying with them basically forever and they’ve slid so far I almost can’t take it anymore. The Air Canada monopoly times were definitely better at this point (maybe more expensive, but infinitely better service).

      Let’s stop with the myth that WestJet isn’t worse than Air Canada, can we please.

      Can we compel the Canadian Transportation Agency to mandate a certain amount of space per seat? Or do we all need to start overloading the healthcare system with requests for height assessment? This is ridiculous.

      Not to be an obnoxious pot stirrer, but how is height any different than a morbidly obese person needing extra wide seats or taking up two seats?

      Just as short people are free to get cosmetics surgery to increase their height tall people can get surgery to shorten their height.

      Just saying.

      There was a plane recently that landed and blew all landing tires, what would have happened if this was westjet, are you allowed to sue if you had serious injuries and weren’t able to work?

      Why not just pay the extra money for a seat with. Lee room? It’s like $25-$50 for the “extended comfort”.

      People want the absolute lowest prices but then complain when it’s not luxurious
