	CAW - TCA CANADA : News
		WestJet's reputation has been dragged through the mud again, with revelations (not proven in court) it snooped confidential information on Jetsgo (its low-cost competitor), in addition to hacking similar data from Air Canada.
		WestJet is squeezed on one side by a reinvigorated Air Canada (which still dominates high-revenue premium and international routes), and on the other by discounters copying WestJet's business model (just as WestJet itself copied Southwest Airlines).
		Sadly, their investment losses on WestJet shares (which are down 40 percent this year) have only added to their effective wage cut.

	Kronos Incorporated Customer Profile: WestJet
		In WestJet's case, a manual time and attendance system proved to be inefficient, time-consuming, and error-prone.

		As a result, WestJet's policies had pay rules that were difficult to administer manually, and the problem only got worse when employees worked in one schedule one week and in another the next.

	WestJet Passenger Opinions about WestJet product and service standards
		I submitted a compliant to WestJet, but they worded their reply so that when I finished reading their response, I was almost convinced they were doing me a big favour by allowing me to fly with them at all.
		At least WestJet doesn't serve up a meal that cost them a dollar, then claim that the cost of the meals is the difference in the prices, as AC has done.
		The only fault with WestJet is that their crew's are not fluent in English and French, and all announcements in French were already pre-recorded.

	WestJet Online -Press Release (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		WestJet is the only airline in Canada to offer special fares to stranded Jetsgo customers and is working diligently to increase its capacity in order to meet the sudden demand from travellers.
		WestJet plans to help the Canadian airline industry recover from this peak in demand and is exploring opportunities to add extra flights and charter flights to assist the travelling public.
		Because numerous WestJet flights already operate with higher load factors during this period, and with the dramatic influx in demand for WestJet flights following Jetsgo's announcement, the availability of special fares is declining rapidly, particularly on popular routes.
