the cheapest fares on both AC and WJ are pretty much identical. however, if you compare the last minute fares/last seats available on a flight, WJ is significantly cheaper that AC.If you compare prices, they are the same fare on every route!
I've never been in a metro seat, I'm assuming thats not supposed to be a good thingCLguy wrote:Cyxe, I must be flying on the wrong RJ's becasue as far as I'm concerned the RJ seat is on par with a Metro seat. Also I have flown WestJet at least 6 times in the last 6 months and have yet to here a joke told. Again I must be on the wrong 737's.

How could any employee at west jet trust him again?. Maybe it is time for a change of leadership....

This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching moneys again. Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back to their farms. The offer rate increased to 25 and the supply of monkeys became so that it was an effort to even see a monkey let alone catch it.
The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at 50! However, since he had to go to the city on some business his assistant would now buy on behalf of the man.
In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers, “Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has collected. I will sell them to you at 35 and when the man comes back you can sell it to him for 50.”
The villagers queued up with all their saving to buy the monkeys.
Later neither the man was to be found nor his assitant. Only thing that was left was MONKEYS and only MONKEYS

Ladies and gentlemen, we would like to introduce you to our new fast food service outlet called McDowells. Our feature sandwich will be the big mic and our mascot will be Rowell McDowell (Clive the Clown was taken)
I laugh at how people like to slag succesful people. Those grapes must be awfully sour.Stoptheworld wrote:Clive asks how a CEO can be named as one of the best when his company goes into bankruptcy?

We were slagging milton, and last time I checked, He bankrupted a company and got awarded for it???? So, if that's not a loss(bankruptcy) and him "profiting" off it, not worthy of our slagging, blah to you good sir, blah....I laugh at how people like to slag succesful people.
There you go bashing "norton" but it's "succesful" you're right it's shit, but you're bashing it, what would you have said if we were bashing Gates because of Windows and it's shitfilled-"user friendly"-patched to the butt system? Would you help and defend that guy too???The only hint I can give is not to run norton. It causes more problems then it solves
Ladies and Gentleman 
Actually I would defend Bill Gates as I would also defend Steve Jobs. Both men are sucessful business people. In typical fashion now that Apple is starting to gain market share in other industries the law suits are starting to appear. The whole thing about being in business is fighting off the vultures from taking your money.cyyz wrote:Gates because of Windows and it's shitfilled-"user friendly"-patched to the butt system?

You're pretty much spot on in the first paragraph. Mark Hill deserves all of credit for creating the business plan for WJ and evolving it into what it has become.. until, well... you know.When it comes right down to Clive, his "success" is slightly overblown. Mark Hill did the legwork on that company - a couple years of obsessiveness actually, cost him his marriage - and they piggybacked on Tim Morgan's OC. Clive Beddoe was a real estate investor who just happened to fly his light twin out of Morgan's outfit, and seized on the opportunity. That's about as much credit as I would give him. What he actually knows about the aviation industry, you could write on a postage stamp.
With the mass exodus of the original talent from WestJet, and the totally different direction taken these days, it's a bit tired to keep cheerleading Beddoe as a genius visionary, particulary if you actually know the history of the company.
