Striker, clearly you haven't a clue.
Air Canada is never going to sell westjet a part to save their asses. Ever.
And it hasn't been a crown corp since Mulroney.
westjet is in the deep end... they'll figure out how to swim eventually, but will swallow more water than they were expecting along the way no doubt.
Meanwhile the joke is on the muppets that still think westjet is some kind of people's airline while they choke on their cheap fare and go hungry in the back of an omni 767, days late, through another city... while westjet can't even support their own operation properly... cue the circus tune...
