I heard someone say once,

"The truth will set you free, but not before it royally pisses you off."

Ottawa built the henhouse. Now it's hiring the fox. Airline-picked judges to decide your complaints.

I’m done with WestJet.

I’ve had their credit card since it came out.

Last week, they billed me $400 to cancel a flight purchased on points, just to get the points back.

Now we have to pay extra for legroom?!

I’m 6’4. After this year, never going to fly WestJet

We need to remove Canadian cabotage laws & foreign ownership restrictions.

More competition means lower prices, better service, and overall a better outcome for Canadians.

Our laws are old, archaic and protect these companies from consequences of ridiculous actions.

[Ross Craig @rosscraig]

@JohnnyJet here is a new policy by @AirCanada if you don’t select your seat when buying the ticket. My luck they would separate my wife and I and we would have to pay extra to sit together

[Dave Hyndman @davehyndman]

Checking in for an @AirCanada trip tomorrow. They now charge $25-35 to just select a different seat. Not a preferred seat, not advanced seat selection. Just a seat change upon checkin. Their VP of Enshittification of Travel hard at work.

[FlyersRights @FlyersRights]

Huge victory for passengers’ refund rights! Refunds automatic if airline cancels or changes your flight times by more than 3 hours unless you affirmatively agree to the changes.

Vouchers for COVID cancellations extended to 2025.

Well. @AirCanada left my chair in Toronto. I’m now without my essential equipment. Independence taken away. I’m furious. Unacceptable. #RightsOnFlights

[Brad Mills 🔑⚡️ @bradmillscan]

#Bitcoin was $400 CAD when Trudeau became Prime Minister.

Trudeau says it’s irresponsible to advocate Canadians opt out of inflation with Bitcoin.

BTC is now $28,000 CAD, a 70X increase.

A 0.5% allocation to BTC would have protected you from Trudeau’s irresponsible leadership.

[Air Passenger Rights @AirPassRightsCA]

For the past 15 years, we have been advocating for harmonizing Canada's passenger protection regime with the European Union's gold standard.

What are your thoughts, @MichelleRempel?

WestJet has a gr8 origin story & we're glad to have @MorePlaneChoice, but check your VERY privileged position: part of a cartel that fights democratization of @AirPassRightsCA at every turn. And since you want off that cover, what is your & @AHoensbroech's position on #cabotage?

[Andy Gibbons @gibbonsandy]

@Ryan_r_Williams We started with 3 planes and have democratized air travel in Canada. Respectfully, you should take the Westjet plane off of that cover. We don't have any privileged position - only the strong support of our amazing guests and the communities where we invest.

Due to public demand, we prepared both layouts in both colours.

Please consider printing a few copies and handing them out to fellow passengers when you travel next time.
