Thank you for the analysis. This is exactly what I was expecting to happen when Gerald Schwartz and his Onex Corp purchased WestJet. I have little faith in our government to control corporate greed and protect consumers. Worrying about consumers and society in general is eroding or in many cases absent in Canada which is a shame. We are a rich country. Why we choose to not “do the right thing” baffles me.
You were way ahead of me on this one Ken! Prior to researching this story, I hadn't realized that WestJet had gone private, and I didn't know anything about Gerald other than that he gave a lot of money away to charity. Funny how easy it is to buy a positive public image isn't it?
It's also shocking to me that we haven't done the right thing. Hopefully we can turn things around before it's too late.
