If there’s anything people can agree on these days, it’s that flying sucks.
And between the delays and cancellations, extreme turbulence, and jets literally falling apart in the sky, it seems that some people have had about enough of flying experiences getting ostensibly worse instead of better.
Which may partially explain the online roasting of WestJet’s new UltraBasic fare, where you can board the plane and that’s about it.
Announced Tuesday, the new “no-frills fare option” doesn’t permit carry-on baggage (unless you’re flying overseas), has pre-assigned seats at the back of the plane, and those who select the fare will be the last to board the plane. They also can’t collect WestJet Rewards.
Even then, an UltraBasic round trip from Toronto to Calgary at the end of June costs about $650.
Dear antitrust folks… where the fuck are you.
Sincerely, Canadians when buying anything.
Whaaat you don’t like high prices and poor service?
The propagandists said Air Canada would be better off privatized.
Can we backsies? I’d honestly love a serious conversation about nationalizing Air Canada.
they’re also saying that health care will be better off privatized.
And America is RIGHT THERE to show them otherwise, and still they pitch that to their slobbering crowd of knuckledraggers.
It isn’t about providing health care, it is about generating profits while pretending to care about health care.
