Oh good lord. Well I hope he ends up in a hi viz in the middle of a Calgary winter shovelling snow.
WestJet are a perfectly good airline, they really don’t need Alex’s input

Benjamin Smith I can see the logic of because they’ve been leaning towards Skyream for a while, Alex not so much.

Not specifically mentioned in the Press Release as linked by OP, but If I’m not mistaken (?) Alex first became involved with WestJet some time ago.
I personally take a good deal of comfort from this announcement of his elevation to a higher role @ WS, if only because it significantly reduces the possibility of him joining any of the carriers with which I happily book on the basis of the overall quality of their service standards.
