More delays for WS's FF Program
Talk about [redacted], but this forum certain qualifies, particularly now that Durfy has admitted WS has had to once more delay the start of its FF program until at least December due to problems with its new res system. This also affects codeshares and commercial agreements with CX, AF and BA.
I say rebrand this forum as AIR MILES and put poor WS out of its embarrassment. Heck, even PORTER deserves its own forum since it actually has a FF program!

What they said was that they weren't going to introduce a loyalty plan with all the custom computer programming needed to link it to an old system when it would have to all be rejigged to work when the off the shelf Sabre system is introduced mid 4th quarter.
There's no point doing all that work twice!

Enough on the name of the forum already, nobody cares except for those that whined about it before it was even created.

Perhaps it's because Westjet's insistance on using Microsoft?
Maybe Linux is more FF ready vs Microsoft :-)

Perhaps it give Duffy more time just to join One World. Its time West Jet joined a real program instead of having its own crapy program.

I would be more worried about AC's new reservation system from what I have heard from inside sources.
