I fly quite a bit, and I actually prefer Air Canada to Westjet. Mainly because of the airmiles I accumulate, and the constant upgrades once you hit Elite/Super Elite. Westjet doesn't offer that, and I actually get a lower level of service from Westjet than AC when compared to my Star Alliance program.

I think I remember hearing once how a very small percentage of people account for a very large percentage of the overall revenue of most airlines, which would make sense as most people who fly a lot get treated like gold, and those that don't get treated like cattle. I might accumulate 60 000+miles in a year, and even then that's not much compared to a lot of their top level flyers.
