Wonder if the Encore flights will also be outfitted with the antenna.

The good ones, or the ones LH bought. Fine for under 2 hours but after that a butt breaker.

Any chance of air ground as one of the channel options like UA ch 9.

I'm not much in the know, but it seems a challenge has been put out to Recaro to make the 3520 slim line seat the same comfort levels as the 3510's that currently exist on the WS fleet.

Nothing will be fitted on the Q400s. Short flight times, difficulty in finding a suitable spot for the antenna and limited avionics bay space for server and broadband systems are all against the practicality of fitting the same system as on the 737s.

Provided that another row isn't added.

Finally some great news, power outlets were long overdue. Any idea on the pricing for the wifi? I hope is not as expensive as united.

Hopefully they will offer some sort of free trial for a while, and then afterwards I am sure we can plan our next trip for free on the Westjet.com website?

The current sets are horrendous, if the bar they set is those then I will never fly WS. Top if off with an extra row for even less pitch and you have a torture chamber.

Well I sure do like the grey colored seats more than the blue colored ones. Much more comfortable. I am a short guy (5'3), but I have lower back pain and I find the grey colored seats make my back feel better.
