[Big Pistons Forever]

OK boys and girls it is time to you use your Avcanada time to do good for this industry. What should be painted on the side of the Q400, and the first person to suggest "WestJet Express" will get roundly humiliated.

Lets see... you've got a Canadian airline, flying a Canadian built aircraft with historical ties to De Havilland bush planes. AC has the maple leaf, Canadian North has the polar bear.... I know, lets put a beaver on the tail of the plane and make it's call sign Beaver Tail.

Dilkaid (Diluted Kool-Aid.) Pilots wear Pleather jackets, still have to clean the plane, but also have to file the nicks outta the props between each of their 17 legs per day.

It's probably time to re-brand the whole mess. This is the risk in marrying a region with your brand name. As you outgrow your region, the name loses relevance.

Westjet should become something like "Maple Leaf Airlines". Then you wouldn't need a new brand for the company on the props, you could just brand the "service". You could call it something like Maple Leaf Connector. Or Maple Leaf Regional. Or Maple Leaf EXTRA. Which avoids branding the towns it serves as secondary.

Or....we can wait until Westjet absorbs Air Canada and they can just use that name.

Or...we can use a name that is synonymous with "Canada" and is used interchangeably by our government: Harper Airlines. The props can be "Senate Service".

Horizon! Sorry Greg

How about just WestJet Regional, good brand name and recognition. don't dilute the brand.

So they went with the Q400 over the ATR?

Ive heard WestJet Lite tossed around, but im thinking the final name will have "blue" in it somewhere.

Hopefully someone will come up with a few good ones here, then I can buy the domain for 8 bucks and sell it back to WJ for a couple G's lol
