WestJet told passengers flights were cancelled for safety. Records suggest otherwise

Canada’s regulations for airlines are weak. Politicians are simultaneously the most flexible and the weakest link of any system of governance. Politicians are always incentivized to focus on the maintenance of power, creating or seeking gate keepers and keeping these keepers paid in exchange.

Why Canada does not have default fines and compensation menus in favour of airline riders for a crucial public service like air flight?

There was just one problem: Neufeld — a licensed small plane pilot — said the plane was not de-iced while he was on it.

Meanwhile, using publicly available flight info, Neufeld and Lukács uncovered a different sequence of events.

Just eight minutes before Neufeld’s flight was cancelled, WestJet had reassigned the aircraft, which instead flew from Edmonton to Kelowna, B.C., and back that day. For Neufeld’s trip, the airline brought in a different plane — one with mechanical issues.

It was a game of “musical chairs” that the company did not disclose in court documents, said Lukács.

“It’s very serious misconduct, because WestJet had all the knowledge to tell the court, ‘We swapped the aircraft.’ They did not do that.”

…

Mehta checked the flight records and learned the plane previously assigned to his flight was still flying that day, completing multiple routes.

“I could definitely see that the aircraft was not grounded for maintenance,” he said. “It was kind of heartbreaking for me to have these findings.”

Mehta wrote to WestJet with the new information. Hearing nothing, he wrote again two weeks later, but the denial held.

Flight records reviewed by Go Public shows that Mehta’s case was similar to Neufeld’s: WestJet swapped out the assigned aircraft for a different plane, then cancelled the flight about an hour later, claiming it was for unplanned maintenance.

“This is surprising,” said Mehta, who was unaware of the last-minute aircraft change. “This is definitely a big development.”

A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson

If you adopt an art to be your trade, weed your mind at the outset of all desire of money. What you may decently expect, if you have some talent and much industry, is such an income as a clerk will earn with a tenth or perhaps a twentieth of your nervous output. Nor have you the right to look for more; in the wages of the life, not in the wages of the trade, lies your reward; the work is here the wages.

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
Essay (1888-09), “A Letter to a Young Gentleman Who Proposes to Embrace the Career of Art,” Scribner’s Magazine, Vol. 4, No. 3

A quotation from Bertrand Russell

I think the gist of the matter is that a saint can live without politeness, and indeed that politeness is incompatible with a saintly character. But the man who is always to be sincere must be free from spite and envy and malice and pettiness. Most of us have a dose of these vices in our composition and therefore have to excerise tact to avoid giving offence. We cannot all be saints, and if saintliness is impossible, we may at least try not to be too disagreeable.

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Essay (1933-02-01) “On Tact,” New York American

How India Quietly Rolled Back the Legal Right to Disaster Relief

The deletion of key provisions from the Disaster Management Act, 2005 undermines humanitarian principles and decades of institutional progress, yet it has gone almost unnoticed.

Five years after the deadly attackon the US Capitol, Donald Trump and other Republicans have engaged in a near-complete effort to #rewrite the history of the day and #erase it from the collective American memory.

On his first day in office, Trump #pardoned anyone involved in the attack, a move that affected some 1,500 people.
His administration has #paid $5m to settle a wrongful death lawsuit with the family of Ashli Babbitt, a rioter killed by a Capitol police officer as she attempted to breach doors near the House floor.
Hundreds of other rioters are also seeking millions of dollars in #compensation.
“The pardons issued last January sent a clear message to the American people:
💥political allegiance now matters more than criminal conduct.

But over the past year, we’ve also seen a sustained effort to rewrite the facts of January 6,
as if the historical record could be negotiated away or erased,”
said Gregory Rosen, who led the justice department unit that prosecuted January 6 cases.

“But Americans remember that day for a simple reason:
👉 we watched it happen.
And as long as we remember what it was
– unadulterated #mob #violence
– we can speak honestly about what it means for our democracy and our future.”

Reminder to my fellow travelers: Don’t forget your EU 261 rights

MWC Barcelona 2025 is finally in the books for me–not because I had one last piece published from my visit to the wireless industry’s global gathering in early March, but because I received the last payment I can reasonably expect from that trip to Spain.

This one didn’t come from a client but from an airline: Lufthansa paid me $262.71 to compensate for the last in a series of flight delays that caused a trip from London to Barcelona by air to take longer than trains would have required on that day.

(To recap that travel saga as briefly as possible: Swiss canceled a flight from London City Airport to Zurich and then canceled a replacement flight from Heathrow to Zurich, then my rebooked flight on Lufthansa from LHR to Frankfurt left so late that I missed my connection in FRA, which led LH to rebook me to connect again in Munich. I finally landed at Barcelona a little before 11 p.m., about eight hours later than originally planned. Anybody still wondering why I don’t check bags?)

As it does for many other situations, the European Union has a regulation for that scenario: EC no. 261/2004, “EC 261” or “EU 261” for short. The text of this rule runs almost 4,500 words, a typical level of EU verbosity, but it boils down to “airlines have to pay you money if they delay your arrival for enough hours for reasons that they could have controlled.”

I’m not a stranger to EU 261, having written a how-to about services that offer help with this regulation for The Points Guy travel site back in 2017. I knew that travel within the EU by an EU carrier would be covered (while U.S. airlines don’t have to pay EU 261 compensation for delays to Europe, only on flights from Europe). But cognitive-load limits are a thing, and so I kept on putting off the task of putting in for an EU 261 claim.

Getting dinged for a few nuisance fees a few weeks ago finally motivated me to fill out Lufthansa’s compensation form, selecting “Missed connecting flight” from its menu of mishaps. I filed with them, not Swiss, because the hours-late departure from LHR seemed the least explicable delay and had wiped out more of my MWC schedule on that Saturday than the other cancels and delays.

The German airline’s response was immensely more prompt than its operations had been for me months earlier. Less than 16 hours later, what I had to see as a first class level of responsiveness, I received a reply that got to the pleasant point: “There is good news: You will receive money back from us.” 

That e-mail requested bank-account details for a U.S. dollar transfer; I provided them via Lufthansa’s feedback form, citing my case number as advised, Four and a half days later, I received a confirmation that the transfer was in progress, and two days after that the money was in my bank account.

I have read about many less pleasant EU 261 experiences–that Points Guy post focused on that possibility–but in this case, for whatever reason, the regulation and the airline each worked as they should have. It’s not every day, week or month that I can write something like that.
