A/C Western Pass

Air Canada commuter pass targets WestJet home turf

BRENT JANG

In the latest effort to combat WestJet Airlines Ltd. on its home turf, Air Canada announced yesterday that it's offering prepaid multiflight passes that provide price breaks to frequent fliers travelling to Edmonton, Calgary, Victoria, Vancouver and Abbotsford, B.C.

The Western Commuter Pass is good for up to 10 or 20 flights, the latest in a series of pass products to be introduced by Air Canada as it seeks to build customer loyalty, said Charles McKee, Air Canada's vice-president of marketing.

WestJet already has competitive fares and has no plans to offer a rival western pass, with the carrier encouraging travellers to "do the math" before deciding whether to fly Air Canada, company spokeswoman Gillian Bentley said.

Air Canada rose 13 cents to $19.08.

Westjet fell 10 cents to $14.51.

Recently my sister after checking both AC family affair and WJ purchased a regular AC YEG-YVR return which was cheaper then WJ by $25 and family affair by $50 plus she had the frequency and chose of flights. Now days it pays to do your homework and not just assume that a LCC is cheaper...

Naturally this is not good news for the financial health of the industry..

WJ posted the highest margins of any carrier in Q3. Expect much the same in Q4. I don't know about you, but we seem to be doing just fine.

Great. Cut fares by 30%, cut costs by 10%. Even you can figure out what this'll do to the bottom line.

Hey asshole, what the @#$! is your problem? Ya I took a paycut. Are you happy? does that make you feel good? Did I get my money back? I don't care. I'm still ahead of you. Always will be. I don't give a shit. I live a life you can only dream of. Does that make you jealous? Sure sounds like it. Arrogance? That's your answer to everything. You're a low life. You have never contributed anything positive on this forum. You never will. You're the "antiarrogant" arrogant asshole of this forum. You don't have the class, the intelligence, the balls. You're a big man behind a cowardly name. Some fuckin pilot you make. Come on in little boy, I'd fuckin eat you alive in my flight deck.

Time for more CRM :lol: like you contribute to the forum, how was that pairing you just had, nobody asked or cares what you did or what you ate. Unveil yourself, this is a friendly place. Sometimes you just never know who your talking to. :lol: I call your lifestyle and raise you a "i'll bet I'll never work with you!". :wink:

This is exactly why you are what you are. You can't take it. A friendly place? You are not a part of that. You sure don't make it that. You have a problem with the best lifestyle in this industry which you apparantly haven't experienced yet and so you try to "humble" yourselfe. It's not working. Another disgruntled wannabe, can't be. Lots of better jobs than AC out there. Go get'em tiger.

I am little confused, but does SQUID not work for AC, from his post about taking a pay cut, he says

**Shareholders ya right, btw Tony did you get your money back from our paycut a couple years ago?**

he says "our paycut" which would mean to me, he was involved in the paycut.

Cheers to all

I put it back there knowing I would get that exact rise out of you. Hey buddy, it's ok, just don't stare at it too long. I know, it's calling your name isn't it? CanadaEh likes it. He's gonna talk Clive into getting some of those big ones so he can fulfill a lifelong dream, no matter what it's going to do to the model :lol:. Oh, and hey, you and squid might get them in 2009. Everything's gonna be alright little buddy. Cheer up, man.

Could you IMAGINE what the flightdeck would be like if AC and WJ ever merged. I think I would quit aviation. Man this is getting very juvenile.
