Important Event Notes
- The burger and Scotch theme is purely optional. Those are the specialties of the restaurant, but you're free to have a salad and a Coke Zero, fish and white wine, or whatever floats your boat
- We will have access to a few of the restaurant's recent Whisky Wednesday tasting menus which offer a flight of 3-4 whiskies at a reduced price. For past Do attendees, this is the same as previous years
- There’s no set cost to attend – everyone just pays for their own food and beverage (the restaurant will do separate bills for everyone)

YYC Spring Do - 1st Ever Burgers & Scotch Evening - April 26, 2024
Since there seemed to be some interest in a get-together of WS forum participants, here we go. More information in the wiki, but basically the idea is a casual gathering over dinner and drinks (you don't have to eat a burger or drink Scotch, you can have whatever you want). We can talk about WestJet, we can talk about things other than WestJet, whatever - no agenda or anything.
Everyone is welcome.
The room can fit 30-something people, so lots of space. Or it can be a smaller gathering - if we're only 5 or 6 people, that's fine too. Let's see how it goes.
I've tried to add people to the list of attendees (yes/maybe) based on posts in the other thread. Please move yourselves if needed. @Fisch @tcook052 @fbrdky @qraec777 @asovse1 @pt360 @gcashin @FlyerJ @jashah @sgrunt @smilee @Symmetre

I unfortunately need to work on April 26 and can’t make it to YYC in time with the available flight options. If I can change my schedule, I’ll advise. Otherwise, I look forward to the next one (maybe a Saturday to make it easier for those of us flying in?)

I am still on the stand-by list as to fly there for Friday evening only flight is a 1pm flight and requires a little more time off work and with higher fares with Lynx and Flair and Air Canada no longer flying YYJ-YYC in April I am a sure it will be a great time so please keep ne as a maybe. Will firm.up plans next week.

Ok, I agree, poor choice of words there. I will be in Alberta the week of the Do, so I will try make it to YYC to attend.

I guess you can’t win…I won’t be able to make it this time. Look forward to the next one. Thanks for organizing.
