Incidents
http://avherald.com/h?article=4aeff1ac
I do not believe that this incident merits inclusion but am presenting it here. The plane went into severe turbulence, injuring both flight attendants, one with serious injuries. Currently, inclusion requires death, causing major change in procedures, or serious damage to the plane. Vanguard10 (talk) 18:00, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
Intro paragraphs
I don't think the comments about McCafe or WestJet Dollars make a ton of sense sitting in the intro body. MattBinYYC (talk) 21:33, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
Baggage & other fees?
Why was this today's featured article
Seems like an infomercial. Why would anyone care about a 5 year old airline? Has it done anything great, is it historically interesting, will anyone remember it in 10 years? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.55.103.39 (talk) 00:00, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
Primary sources banners and FAR?
@Left guide: I noticed that in December 2023 you added a bunch of primary sources banners to this article. Since this is a featured article, can you outline your concerns below so this can be formally noticed? If you are interested, you can also bring this article to featured article review in two weeks if no one addresses your concerns. Thanks, Z1720 (talk) 01:24, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Z1720, thanks for pinging me, I made that edit run quite a while ago, so I don't remember everything I was thinking then, but the gist of it is that it seemed unusual and surprising for a featured article to rely so heavily on primary sources (typically the airline's own website), hence the tags. From a cursory glance at the references of the FA-promoted version back in 2018, it looks like that version had fewer primary sources. Perhaps raising this at the airlines WikiProject talk page, and seeing if any of the folks there might be willing to shore up this article with independent references would be a good idea before taking it to featured article review.

- Update 1: work has begun. Work that has not begun but will start soon is to cover how the YYZ base closed and all cities in Ontario and east have been discontinued with the exception of Thunder Bay, Ontario. Vanguard10 (talk) 03:11, 3 February 2026 (UTC)
