I'm sorry to say that I have removed the posting regarding Westjet. It appears to be a reprint of a news byte found somewhere on the web. No credit is given to the author and no source is provided. . .Following is a quote from section 3 of the PPRUNE "Terms and Conditions", to which all members agreed, upon their initial registration.
"Third.. .We assume that PPRuNers are grown-ups capable of reading the newspapers for information publicly available and do not need to be fed an hourly diet of "news" items. . .If they are PPRuNing then they are capable of accessing the Internet news services for this purpose, if they are too lazy to do so then it is their loss but not our responsibility. Apart from all of the foregoing it consumes bandwidth and makes it all run slower than it needs be.
If it is felt necessary to point to a worthy news item then a LINK to it will suffice AND will not therefore violate the principle of copyright belonging to the originator or consume PPRuNe bandwidth.
Any "news" items posted forthwith without attribution to the originator will be deleted."
