Mild-mannered CEO by day, Gregg Saretsky announced that starting next year, WestJet’s regional “Encore” will free Canadians by slashing airfares 50%, growing markets 300% and leaping over tall buildings.
Yes, Pumpkins, the Man of Teal “is out to liberate Canadians from the high cost of air travel.” Kapow.
He tossed out suggestions that his plan could be derailed by Air Canada’s new LCC like a used pair of tights - stating that there doesn’t seem to be a lot of action over there.

Well, I’ve never known a Friisdahl to take things lying down. But sources tell me Michael is in a secret AC underground lair somewhere up north planning his retort to this affront. And working on that LCC. (Might be a good time to come out now.)
Hopefully he isn’t planning on naming it CLIA. Or Cruise Holidays. Or Cruise-Connections. Or Cruise Profes…
I think I might be cruising for a something that rhymes with .. cruising. I’m in trouble, aren’t I?
Anybody?
