[QUOTE=robsaw;30377568]If your numbers are correct - your calculations are not.

AC profit of $645M vs $1.72B is a drop of 37.5% as you say.
WestJet profit of $45.9M vs $135.9 is a drop of 66.2%.

So, yes, WestJet profits dropped quite substantially more than AC's.[/QUOTE

The CTV news report is just bad. First, they reported AC operating profit in US$ and everything else’s in CDN $. Also, AC 2017 3Q operating profit was not $1.72 B, but $965m. So, just looking at the numbers, Westjet did take a major hit compared to AC.
