Used to love flying WestJet. Not anymore, since the pandemic they've gone so downhill. Won't fly them unless I have to and I live in their hub city.
More accurately, since they were bought by the private equity firm Onex.
It's a bit of a shame. Flying with Swoop was a gamble but most of my flights worked out and it was usually amazingly cheap. I was hoping there was going to be a boom of discount airlines in Canada but it's going the opposite way now.
Do not pass go .... Do not collect $200
Flair is still doing well, right?
If by well, you mean earning the Worst Airline in customer complaints ( https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/flair-worst-airline-complaints-1.6863897 ), having jets confiscated ( https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/flair-airlines-plane-seizures-1.6776186 ), nearly having its license revoked ( https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/flair-airlines-cta-ruling-1.6473784 ), and losing its ground crews ( https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/sunwing-flair-ottawa-airport-baggage-contract-1.6779457 )...
Then yes, they seem to be doing just fine.
I think it's only a matter of time before Westjet absorbs them too.
