212Wrench, what utter nonsense, Air Canada was doing this kind of promotion many years before West Jet was even formed, and no, they didnt copy West Jet any more than West Jet copied Air Canada with their version of "Dreams Take Flight" with donated aircraft, crews working unpaid to take very sick children to Disney World, good on both companies for doing this. If one is in the flying game there are only certain charities and promotions which make sense, freebies and charity flights are two of them , as for executive pay and bonuses you wont find any argument that they are totally out of line and reflect a sad state of morality in our "New World", but slagging other companies wont get AME/Pilot saleries to reflect their real worth Im afraid, so lighten up, its Christmas!
