Thanks, I didn't know what the exact numbers were. That's interesting.

This whole story seems like a hoax to me.

I saw his name in another thread a couple of days ago, and wondered the same thing, so I checked him out, banned, of the lifetime variety.

Westjet's Board of Directors:
13 men, 1 woman

Westjet's Executive:
5 men, 1 woman

And I agree... that pilot sharing what was on that napkin a week before International Women's Day... I don't trust a darn thing out of Westjet since since that Christmas video/commercial. They have shown that they know how to manipulate social media. Appearance is more important than reality in this era.

I was on this flight and sat in front of this jerk. He gunned three beers and then started mumbling something about vaginal expansion for a good half hour.

He staggered off and I saw him leaving the baggage area with a very tanned lady telling him what for.

I agree that it's the kind of marketing logic the creative folks at WestJet would have, but I don't think this is a hoax. The execution would have been better, and I don't see what incentive that captain would have had to be the brunt of the attack, and then to have her respond on her personal Facebook page? Nah. If it showed up on the WestJet Facebook page like, "like look what a passenger left for us on flight 463 last night..." then I might believe that.

...yeah I doubt its a hoax. Can you imagine the backlash if the fraud came out?

No way a savvy social media company takes that dumb a risk...

Response video is almost childish. "Yeah, we're responding to that sexist troll... even though you don't even work for us, wanna be in it?" Yes, they all said.
