Not sure if that's aimed at me, but for what it's worth I don't work for AC, and never have. I have no interest in WS going bust, and I highly doubt anyone at AC wishes this either.
Every airline that is profitable...is, right up until it isn't. That wasn't the point being discussed. Only that the idea that everyone flying at WestJet is just thrilled to bits that another company has painted a WestJet logo on their airplane, is not quite accurate. Nor is celebrating the fact a great idea. It's good the company is conservative, but it's step down a perilous road when you begin outsourcing your own operation.
