[pelmet]

1% in April and 3% in May(1000 flights). Hopefully will bounce back soon.

What a bullshit headline.

we have adjusted our flying to align with demand

WestJet does not fly to, near, or through the middle east and is not directly affected by it. They're affected by our poor leadership and high taxes.

Cooked. Both WJ and AC alike have snubbed decades fuel hedging programs for over a decade. There's a price to pay.. and we are all about to bear witness to the fastest/swiftest pilot career killer ever seen in generations. Fuel will literally 2x by July. To those who think I'm joking, you don't understand the core fundamentals of the business. Enjoy the ride.

I don’t see anything wrong with the headline, the impact of the war is being felt literally everywhere, Australia was a couple weeks away from being out of jet fuel and there is a major shortage of diesel. Paying about 3.00 per litre for diesel.
The impact of the war will spread farther the longer it goes on, demand is falling and adjustments are made, they won’t keep staff on doing nothing for very long, lessons from Covid are not really relevant.
The economy won’t bounce back nearly as fast this time, of course I’m not an economist, so take it with a grain of salt but that’s how I see it going.

WestJet has had up to 25% hedged according to our CFO. I am not sure of price or amount but they are using it more than the WJ of old did.

Typical MAGA education there....

What does MAGA, an American phenomenon, have to do with Canadian aviation?

Nothing.
But half of Canadians have been programmed to blame all their woes on the bogey man of orange man bad to hide the reality that their beloved Canadian government, of all colours ,has spent decades ruining what should be the best and most affluent country on earth.
It's the modern religion for the left. Worship the government, their symbolism and dogma, and scorn their perceived devil. Their glorious leaders can do no wrong, and they will willingly sacrifice themselves and future generations on their altar of the ideology.
