Interesting to note that when my sister and dad did get on their flight this aft (after help from an actual human) there were EMPTY seats on the flight. EMPTY SEATS @westjet

Shoutout to #westjet agent in #ylw who helped my sister & father get on a actual plane this aft. After their flight was cancelled without ANY email notification, on hold for 6+ hours with NO response, announcements in airport to go home & not ask questions at counter.

@WestJet Your manager, Sandy the #YEG needs to do better. She is extremely rude and not helpful at all. She refuses to listen, talks over you, and won’t do anything to try to help. #westjet #westjetcanada

@WestJet @GroovieGurlie I have DMed 6 times with no reply!!!

@GroovieGurlie Hello, please send us a direct message with the six-letter reservation code, full name on reservation as well as the email address so, we are better able to assist you. twitter.com/messages/compo…

@WestJet I noticed some of your flights to #yeg from #yvr are getting canceled. However, my flight later today is still showing as "on time". What's going on?

@ccnavisoy @WestJet There is an #aircanada flight Calgary to Montreal tommorow AM. Did they offer you another flight later today?

@c_durley @WestJet They only said because my flight from Calgary to Montreal was cancelled. @WestJet #westjet

I’m at the #YEG airport, where I have a flight with #WestJet to Montreal w/ a connection in Calgary. I was denied my boarding to the flight to Calgary even though the weather is in good condition in western Canada. Everyone refuses to provide help, including the manager. @WestJet

@ccnavisoy @WestJet Oh wow that seems completely unfair. Were they able to provide a reason?

@c_durley @WestJet It was, this flight was not cancelled whatsoever. The staff refused to let check me in and board my flight.

@gregoryoh @WestJet We just got disconnected after a 4 hour wait :(

Wait times for WestJet? Hot tip for anyone waiting on hold for @WestJet right now. At about 3.5-4 hour mark there is a prompt to respond to indicate that you are still there. If you don't press "1" you will be disconnected. After waiting. Four hours.

@dtairwin @WestJet We have been on hold for 4 hours

Has anyone actually been able to get through to @WestJet how long were you on hold?

A state health department cut COVID-19 data analysis from 3 days to just 4 hours during a major outbreak

Happy Twitterversary Gjo!!! Woohoo! @_grahamjohnson

@_grahamjohnson Happy Pi day, my fav math-loving friend!!

Wow, just wow. Shame on you @wsj for publishing this. Jill Biden should consider dropping the honorific “Dr.” before her name, writes Joseph Epstein wsj.com/articles/is-th… via @WSJ

The word 'doctor' comes from the Latin word for "teacher." merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/…

The tyranny of merit (Michael Sandel | TED2020 ) ted.com/talks/michael_… via @TEDTalks

The credentialed have come to the imagine themselves as smarter, wiser, & more deserving of recognition & respect than the non-credentialed... Our “rhetoric of rising” tells all kids that if you just try hard enough, you can achieve your goals. ~Michael Sandel

It is time for a moral, even spiritual, turning, questioning of our meritocratic hubris. Do I deserve the talents that enable me to flourish? Or is that good luck? Insisting that success is my due makes it hard to see myself in other people's shoes. ~Michael Sandel

We should begin by rethinking role of universities as arbiters of opportunity...It is folly to create an economy (& education system!!) that makes university a necessary condition of dignified work & a decent life. ~Michael Sandel

Meritocracy is corrosive of the common good. It leads to hubris among the winners & humiliation among those who lose out. It encourages the successful to inhale too deeply of their success, to forget the luck and good fortune that helped them on their way. ~ Michael Sandel
