This is really sad as Westjet used to be a great airline — now it will likely be shunned by any traveller that supports freedom & democracy for their children and grandchildren!

Their marketing slogan was that the airline was owned by it’s employees — well now they have fired these owners. Is it even legal to lay people off and not pay them? Or fire them without severance based on years service? Seems to me these corporations are hiding behind the politicians to cut their workforce without due compensation. Where are the unions and why are they not fighting for their members??
