I like flying Westjet, they were listed as one of Canadas top 10 employers this year, according to an article I read. And if I could, I'd be on the first flight out, and the last flight back!

I am employed by a company out of yvr that does groundhandling for westjet and they even treat us well, we get 8 standby  one way tickets (4 round trip technically) that we only have to pay government fees and taxes on. the employees of westjet are always fairly cheerful (even when there are no pax around). Westjet is a easy airline to deal with which is why they have been so succesful and I personally hope one day they become Larger than that other large canadian airline with really shitty customer service who's name will not be mentioned

Jazz?
P.S. I'm kidding... it's clearly Porter :P Actually, I think Porter is only popular around Toronto, because they fly out of CYTZ and are known for buying the airport and evicting rival airline Jazz. I would gladly fly for any of these companies though, even the one that remains nameless.

Air canada is a pain everywhere... Even on the ra$p, they leave crap at every gate, we had a push back from ac blocking our gate so we had to wait 7 minutes to bring it in!
