Innuendo Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Quote Each team will also be complimented by two WestJetters and a premium guest traveller. Nit picker alert, compliment/complement, do they really mean compliment? There is a difference. Impressive lineup of participants though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conehead Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 I believe it means that two Westjetters will heap praise upon each participant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runaway Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Thought the first WJ "hackathon" was directed on Air Canada a few years ago! And it wasn't from a hangar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
