[flywestjetcr]

News release just out...Tim Morgan has left Westjet for personal reasons. The full script can be found at ccnmathews.

WOW !!

[Obbie]

I take it nobody at WestJet saw this comming ?

I had a nice chat with Tim during Stampede in July at the company beef'n'bean. No hint then of any desire to move on.

I wish him all the best !!!!

[GearDoor]

Hmm, interesting. Maybe he thought it was time to cash out the chips?

[29chev]

Ok I give who is Tim Morgan ?

[in limbo]

He is the VP of flight operations

[CaptW5]

Actually one more step up: Executive VP of Operations.

Also one of the founders of WestJet.

Yikes.
Must be some very important "personal" reason. I know WJ is going in a different direction from plan A these days. Maybe this is not the way Tim wants it to be. Clive wins again. Stock was below $10 for a while today. Hope it's just a glitch.

Heard Tim was the main opponent to Toronto Based Pilots...

If you are leaving an important position in a company AND you are leaving on good terms you would have let the press know about it say 10:00 am on the day so it is early afternoon out east.
You don't quit at 20:00 .
He was very pissed for sure. That sends a message that things are not as together as we all may think.

I think it's more along the lines that he was asked to leave because he didn't agree with the board, on the further exapnsion of the company.

Any way you slice it things were not happy happy at the palace in YYC.
Hopefully this will change things for the better.
