It's great video, and portrays WestJet as a different kind of Airline, but WestJet lost it's luster for me when they announced they are charging for a check bags on flights to Europe starting January 6th.

It was more the statements they made when announcing the charge that made me realize they are like other airlines. WestJet CEO Gregg Saretsky said this about the new fees in a conference call announcing 3rd quarter results : “Our competitors went here years ago and we’ve been late to the party,” He also said, “We’re not going to apologize for charging $25 for a first checked bag. These fares are significantly lower than the market has seen.”
