Westjet has really taken a dive over the past several years. When they started out, they were always cheaper than AC. A couple years ago they seemed to start moving towards matching prices of AC instead of setting their own. Now I find them more expensive 80% of the time.
The only benefits I see from flying Westjet currently are not charging for the 1st bag to the US, and you can watch playoff hockey while flying (If the system is working, and if you're in their ever shrinking satellite service are). I wasn't aware of the shrinking of their legroom, but that is another knock against them for future trips.
