Air Italy's COO was a former WJ employee who many will recognize by name.

Sure appears to be predatory. When Jetsgo flew does anyone remember what ancillary fees looked like? I'm guessing it was significantly less than what Swoop is earning.

Flair's pulled out of YXX due to Swoop starting in June.

This forum is missing some Bean. And Jetsgo. And an Air Canada bankruptcy. And WestJet. Many arguments were had.

You don't usually hear people blaming WestJet for Swoop's issues. The same people that don't buy travel insurance or don't carry their medication on them are the same people that have no idea WestJet owns Swoop.

It diminishes the WJ brand? The whole strategy is to have the two airlines separate in every way. The luxury of help comes with the price of a ticket - that help isn't covered @ Swoop. That's what insurance is for.

Never been there myself, have friends who have been dozens of times. Never an issue. Have done the same in Anaheim, LA, Calgary, Vancouver - never an issue. Just don't go at the start of the game and expect a warm welcome.

Good to know. So the footage/pics do align.

There's already phots of the crash site... in daylight. Something doesn't add up.

Apparently crash 4 min after departure. I'm reading Twitter for news so cannot verify this is true. Neither can I verify the ridiculous speculation about what happened. What I do know is that it's suspect for a semi-official news agency to declare the plane crash due to technical difficulties incredibly premature.

There's video from a distance of the crash. For some reason can't post it here... just shows up as a blank post.

Sure they will.
