We should petition the Minister of Tourism to share concerns about the predatory practices of Swoop aka Westjet with the Minister of Transport.
This would fall on dead ears. Simply put, unless there's price dumping, we cannot interfere in a free competitive market. Also, Transport Canada, which holds the pen on approving the slot allocations, does make an assessment of unfair competition prior to allowing companies to start flights.We should petition the Minister of Tourism to share concerns about the predatory practices of Swoop aka Westjet with the Minister of Transport.
I can’t wait until Flair offers more routes out of Canada.This would fall on dead ears. Simply put, unless there's price dumping, we cannot interfere in a free competitive market.

Yup! And then all of those US American airport authorities will think YEG is a joke when our carriers start and cancel flights on a whim. If Swoop was serious about proving service, which they are not, then they’d provide service to a destination not offered by FlairSwoop's plan is to get everyone flying on their route option instead of Flair, forcing Flair to eventually cancel that route due to it being unsustainable, after which Swoop will cancel those routes as well...
Swoop is really peeving people by this predatory action. Let’s hope 777 is in for the long haul as a lender for Flair and investors dump Westjet share.Yup!

Point to point IS the most profitable airline service model and both AC and WS will soon feel the pain particularly at YYC, YVR and YYZ as they try to feed their "hubs". The more diluted the Calgary, Vancouver, Toronto markets are, the better chance for YEG to obtain nonstop flights.Love it!!!! Watch Swoop add flights out of YYC now! What a complete and utter gong show!
