Loading ...‘A Setback’: WestJet Lashes Out at Canada’s Latest COVID-19 Travel Advisory
WestJet and the Air Line Pilots Association are calling on Ottawa to provide scientific data for advising against non-essential foreign travel
“One of Canada’s largest airlines says the federal government’s new Omicron variant travel advisory is “not based on science and data,” and is calling on Ottawa to make its travel-related COVID-19 data public.
On Dec. 15, the WestJet Group issued a statement denouncing the travel advisory warning against all non-essential international travel due to the spread of the Omicron variant, saying the move “significantly undermines aviation’s proven safety record in response to COVID-19” and constitutes “a setback in Canada’s progress and its successful transition from relying on blanket advisories and policies.”
“Air travel is the most tested and protected consumer activity in Canada, every person travelling internationally is tested on average twice throughout their travel journey,” WestJet President and CEO Harry Taylor said in the statement.”
REMINDER – Westjet just fired thousands of workers across Canada — “the company that cares” apparently doesn’t extend to it’s employees!!
They are too brain dead to see their own hypocrisy. They only “care” when their bottom line is threatened. They could give a damn about freedom and liberty, all they care about is $$$$$
Period. End of tale.
