My observation is Flair is doing well. People are flying when they wouldn't have otherwise since Flair came on. Westjet started small with old planes too way back, didn't they? They were the underdog, look at them now.
I am cheering for Flair and Jetline or whoever is coming next. 2 airlines divvying up marketshare 50-50 is not good for consumers. Calling Swoop a separate company still does not change the fact that Swoop presents no added competition because any profit still goes back to WJ. Anyone regardless of their airline loyalty should be cheering for the upstarts and underdogs.
So Swoop has the full backing of Westjet, all the capital available to them, new planes, full resources at their disposal but "it is a separate company". So which is it?
