2). Join an alliance like OneWorld with strong US and International schedules.
3). Make Gold/Elite Level qualify at 35k.
4). Give all current AC *G instant G/E Status on WS.
Within 10 Minutes my email made it to CEO's office.
Unless Westjet wants to head to bankruptcy court within five years, they will be smart enough to not implement any of your suggestions. They are a LCC and these would be contrary to their business model. There are other ways to steal customers away from AC without becoming another legacy carrier with added costs.
