Not that west jet has ever been great, but in recent years it’s clear they are the worst canadian airline
May their bankruptcy be swift.
Greasyyyyy
This doesn’t surprise me at all. They have, in the past, also had a published schedule that they absolutely could not actually operate with the number of serviceable aircraft they had available.
Class action suit waiting to happen.
What a bunch of assholes. Of course our airlines are engaged in large scale fraud.
We need to hit them with serious penalties.
Ofcourse they do. Every single time.
One of the absolute worst airlines not only in Canada but the world that I’ve been on. They’re a budget airline charging premium prices for bad service
Never fly Westjet
They did exactly this to me and my family at the beginning of April.
It was a complete fiasco. We ended up having to stay another night. Luckily the hotel we were staying at were able to accommodate us.
Oh well. Better privatize airports instead of regulating airlines…

>According to flight data, WestJet replaced the aircraft scheduled for Vanderwilk’s route with a different plane — one that had already been grounded for two days.
Then, in the same minute, the flight was cancelled.
Fucking hell…thats pretty blatant!
I mean if you change to a plane thats already grounded for scheduled maintenance, its not at ALL unscheduled maintenance by the definition of….unscheduled hahaha
Jail time for executives. But who am I kidding the government loves to sit back and watch as Canadians get rinsed.
They are a trash, conniving airline. I have my own complaint filed against them
Flew them once and had a terrible experience. Never flown with them again. Air Canada is better than them and that’s saying a lot.
I was never a regular WestJet flyer, but when they cancelled our trip we had planned at the early stages of the pandemic (before shit really hit the fan) they held on to almost $4000 of our money for a year and a half before deciding we could have it refunded. I vowed I’d never fly with them again after that fiasco.
We need an escalating compensation/penalty structure. If airlines just own it and compensate people as required, the standard $500-$1000 is appropriate. But if they deny and force tribunals and appeal to court, the penalty should become 10x-100x with the money being split between the person, court and charity.
Westjet used to be great.
My family of three flew to Moncton in 2011. The return flight was cancelled because there was damage to the aircraft. We were put up in a hotel, given a meal stipend, and then got $500 each in travel vouchers after we returned home. This was before any rules or legislation. Just good business practice.
