'Transport Canada said in a statement to CBC News that it prioritizes passenger safety above all and reiterated that national aviation regulations do not specify a minimum seat pitch.'

Steven MacKinnon & the gov't of 🇨🇦 best change national aviation regulations!

Don’t give #WestJet ideas!

#WestJet should be ashamed of itself

WestJet hit with $70K fine by Canadian Transportation Agency | National WestJet is facing a $70,000 fine from the CTA after passengers on a cancelled flight were left without accommodations.

#WestJet slapped with $70K fine by Canadian Transportation Agency after passengers on a cancelled flight were left without meals or accommodations. dailyhive.com/canada/westj...

I swear the downfall of Westjet customer service over the past decade has mirrored Alberta's provincial government.

Went from decent (Rachel Notley) to absolute dog sh*t (Danielle Smith).

#Westjet: We've cancelled your return flight.

Me: Why?

WJ: The flight is no longer in our system.

Me: OK, when is the next direct flight?

WJ: We have flights with transfers.

Me: OK. Can you reschedule me on the earliest?

WJ: You booked through a 3rd party, so you have to call them.

Has anyone else gotten #Westjet tickets, paid for specific seats and checked baggage, then had them ask if you'd like to pay extra for specific seats and checked baggage?
It seems like this could be a class action because it happens to me every time.

Late last night, after 3 flights over 2 days, thru the US (which we’d wanted to avoid), and on our own dime, we made it home from #PuertoVallarta. If we’d still been depending on #Westjet, we would still be there—and many are. We are exhausted, and battered in spirit, but at least we are home. ✅
