AC 119 YYZ- YVR Sched. Depart 4:10 Est Sched. Arrive 6:00 PM PST Flight time 4 hours 50 minutes Average Delay 20-40 minutes
WS 717 YYZ-YVR Sched. Depart 3:59PM Est Sched. Arrive 5.22 PM PST Flight Time 4 hour 23 minutes Average Delay 10-20 minutes
Air Canada gives itself a cushion of 27 minutes, almost half an hour, and yet it still manages to arrive 20-40 minutes late.
Both West Jet and Air Canada are leaving at almost the same time, and have the same weather conditions and yet West Jet out performs Air Canada by 27 minutes PLUS an additional 10-20 minutes. If Air Canada and West Jet adjusted their flights to reflect OTP, then their respective flight times should show a minimum 5 hours and 30 minutes for AC and 4 hours and 43 minutes for West Jet.
Do you think that would work well for the brand image?
