Not at this point, Gold only. Current fleet install is about 75% on the 737-800, 15% on the 737-700, 0% on the 737-600, 67% on the 767-300 and 0% on the Q400, to give an idea of probability that any given flight has WestJet Connect on it.

Aerobod are the Q400's in line for wi-fi. If so why not build it in as the planes came off the assembly line. They are all recent build, can't be cost effective to do it after the fact.

They won't receive the 737 or 767 solution as the satellite radome is too large for the Q400 fuselage and the electronics bay space is very limited for the standard server, also there isn't a line fit that is certified for Panasonic eX equipment on the Q400s at the moment. We are looking at what could be done in the future, but bear in mind that our current fit rate is limited by aircraft availability and is planned a minimum of 1 year in advance to make sure we have enough aircraft available to cover our schedule.
