It is a bit of a surprising move given what the competition does but as long as they are up front about it, I think it's OK. Iv'e never eaten anything in the air that I would eat by choice on the ground so I can't get too excited about airline food... I typically eat before then just take snacks on TATL.

It is a race to the bottom. What do you expect from WestJet? An in flight experience on par with Air Canada, Rouge, or Air Transat? Even United or the former US Airways who have the poorest in flight experience over the atlantic hand out some meal trays to their passengers.

This move alone isn't likely to result in wholesale defections to other airlines all things be fairly equal however it's one of the little things passengers may remember and repeat to friends & family when discussing their trip and leave some lingering negative associations to the larger WS brand.

Many things would have to be compared before a meal came down to the deciding factor between AC & WS for me such as convenience of schedule, flexibility of fare, seat comfort, FFP/FFM earning and of course price.

Total race to the bottom as far as I'm concerned. But ma and pa kettle will save $5 on that flight and the lowest, cheapest price is all that matters to ma and pa. WestJet will pocket the other $10 in savings, BTW. You thought it would be passed entirely along to the customer in lower fares? Ha!
