I haven't flown with them, but I do know they made a huge stink with Sydney (YQY) didn't renew their contract and brought in WestJet as their season carrier. Sydney doesn't have the counter space, nor the caption area to support three airlines, rather than have WestJet and SunWing compete and both say we don't make money and pull out, they just went with the more established airliner.
SunWing protested and still sold tickets thinking the public backlash and outrage would force the hand of the airport, which didn't happen. Airport officials stood strong saying "we'll shoot ourselves, if we do this".
Other than that, a guy I know that works at the airport said WestJet brought in a better class of clientele than SunWing.
Regardless I haven't flown with them, I'm sure they're a good company, discount airline that does packages in the winter and scheduled routes in the summer.
At the end of the day they get you from point A to point B and back. I've flown with Air Atlantic, Air Nova/Air Canada Jazz, Air Canada, CanJet, and WestJet. Honestly I haven't ever had a problem with any of them. Biggest complaint was the CanJet's 737's I was on were poorly pressurized.
I know people here complain about the airlines in Canada, but from my experiance they actually have been really good.
