WestJet 787 team trip to Boeing Delivery Center

In December 2018, a group of 25 WestJetters visited our first ever 787 Dreamliner at the Boeing Delivery Center in Everett, Washington, shortly after it came off the factory line and out of the paint shop. It was the first time anyone from WestJet had the chance to see our completed Dreamliner, so the excitement level was high for everyone.
The familiarization trip (a.k.a. FAM trip) is an important step in bringing a new aircraft into our fleet. It allows the teams that have been working on various aspects of safely and efficiently operating a new plane type to have access to the aircraft to validate all their plans. Hundreds of WestJetters have been working for more than a year to bring this fantastic new aircraft into our fleet, and we can't wait to welcome you on board one of our Dreamliners in the near future.

[@shawnthurber9786]

Congratulations WestJet! The 787 is the future and I am very excited you will have this in your fleet to take your customers all over the globe.

[@1Ocqueoc]

It has to be noted that what WestJet did here - happens with every airline when a new type is introduced into their fleet, and it is FAR more than a single trip that lasts a week or so. I know that UPS worked for over a year, to bring the 747-8F into their operation, even though they have had decades of operating experience with the 747-100, 200 and 400 - and they don't even have to worry about the passenger systems or experiences! I think that the Dreamliner will be a great asset to WestJet!

[@polduseri909]

Only the best from USA to our Canadians friends. Hope to fly soon with you guys instead of on the overpriced and bad customer service of AirCanada.

[@robertcurry6413]

What routes will the plane be flying?

[@westjet]

The first three international Dreamliner routes we've announced are between Calgary and London Gatwick, Paris and Dublin, beginning this spring. Between February 20 and the end of April, the 787 will be flying between Calgary and Toronto.

[@jamiearnott72]

Westjet in the past...Was amazing for service, extras and comfort, but it has clearly deteriorated considerably over the last 10 years...But we do live in a Country monopolized by two major carriers....Very Sad.

[@Dfpijgyt564s65sgt]

JTA deteriorized even though you’re watching a video of them working on their first ever widebody 787 aircraft?...
