I'm not defending them, all I'm saying is its silly to compare them to WestJet. If you want to compare them with any other airline outside Canada - fine. My beef is with the Canadian aviation industry and how god awful they all are from airport ops that force long delays to the airlines themselves. If you look at any OTP report you'll clearly see that the issue isn't with AC specifically but rather the hubs generally - YYZ, YVR, YYC to name but a few. I challenge anyone on the forum to find a single major Canadian airport whose OTP ranking is below 500 - I doubt you'll find it!
