What the &@$&?

I earn my status by directing all of my business travel to WestJet — where I either buy a Flex fare (which includes seat selection) or pay for (and expense) my seat selection.

Where I really want this status benefit is when I fly for personal/vacation travel. When I have my family with me. Where I’m paying out of my own pocket. But now, I’m restricted to only using the voucher for one of our four seats - and paying for the rest?

WestJet: you’ve got to be kidding. This is absolutely a shot against your loyal customers, and I cannot fathom how this helps you at all.
I really hope WestJet are monitoring this thread and see what damage they are doing to themselves. This really is another example of killing (or going out of their way to annoy) the goose that lays the golden egg.
