Well if we are talking about a companies that use planes to fly people from point a to point b, WestJet and Air Canada are very similar. And in operating their business, WestJet has a lower cost structure than Air Canada. That's indisputable; Air Canada will tell you the same thing!

Plus Westjet has already strayed from the Southwest model in how they conduct business.

Who cares if they've strayed from the Southwest model. That doesn't necessarily mean anything good or bad. I don't know what your point is. The Canadian market is different from the American market so there are bound to be differences between the two airlines.

Not too mention their upcoming experiment chartering 2 757's for flights to Hawaii this coming winter/spring. We'll see how their pilot group likes that.

If they're going to charter 757s to go to Hawaii it'll be because they can do it profitably. If it's not profitable, they'll discontinue the service. Again, no clue what your point is here.
