WS has never given them a reason to fly anyone else.
Westjet is a very good airline for the casual, low value pax and most likely better than AC in this cat. For the FF cat., Westjet can't compete because of their lack of benefits of a true FF program, J class for the high value pax and a partner tie in like A*.
