This is rich, earlier this year WestJet said:

…if WestJet were required to obtain eight slot pairs and if it used all of those slots for Toronto-LGA service using its existing B737 equipment, that new service would increase market capacity by 62 percent. Although WestJet is confident that its new service will stimulate market demand, an immediate 62 percent increase in market capacity would not be sustainable.
So WestJet just won the eight slot pairs they said were unsustainable.
Lemme guess, since we just announced a codeshare with WestJet, any Canada flying will now on be on WestJet...

Maybe we can have an Enhanced Marketing Agreement with WestJet :roll eyes:
