With the requirement to open up the books and prove how much the damages really were, I dare say that Air Canada was reluctant to provide its' financial information to WestJet and decided the lawsuit had run it's course.
WestJet had shown interest in settling this nuisance lawsuit on several occaisions in the past.
Thanks for the WJ spin but perhaps you didn't bother to read the whole settlement:
"This conduct was both unethical and unacceptable and WestJet accepts full responsibility for such misconduct. WestJet sincerely regrets having engaged in this practice and unreservedly apologizes to Air Canada and (CEO of parent corporation ACE Aviation Holdings Inc.) Mr. Robert Milton." end of quote
