Remind me of a story I read where passengers were stranded with Air Canada and the guy at the WestJet counter said something along the lines of: "We're WestJet and we do things differently who wants pizza?" 🍕 That's Canadian hospitality right there and I bet the fact that I remember just reading about it that it probably stuck with those who actually experienced it firsthand.
Excellent prank WestJet! Your level of customer interaction goes a long way. I'm proud to be Canadian (sorry for my profile pic being from 'you know who'"!
"AC has improved but doesn't surpass alot of others" Sure. Perhaps not Emirates, Qatar, Thai, or Singapore. Other than those, it certainly holds it own, and operates in one of the most difficult environments in the world.
David Stachon I've flown all around Canada this past year for various mining and oil and gas conferences, air Canada is more tolerable than it was in the past but Westjet is still better.
David Stachon Ya not arguing LOL. I personally do not think it's the greatest for what we pay just to fly within Canada. But your opinion is free to give. Have a nice weekend! :)
That was great! You had me scared for a minute, but I really do wish you could give Canadians a better rate when flying within our own wonderful country!
Up to their same old April Fools again. This one was fine but I have to say their best one was when they said they would offer a play area in cargo so the parents could enjoy their flight. Keep it up West Jet!
Oh my, I fell for it! (and it is june in the mean time) I fly Westjet from Toronto to Calgary as a transfer from KLM on the 26th of juli. KL9806. Now I am looking forward to it some more. A fun airline :D
You are a day early. On a serious note if you want to be the Most Canadian Air line, can you look at servicing the True North Rankin Inlet, Arviat, etc. I don't think as you would have as many cancellations.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! I wanted this to be real. :( Especially since I hate Air Canada. The most unprofessional, rude, and un-Canadian airline ever.
I've personally never had a bad experience flying with Air Canada. I take their international flights from Toronto to Japan. Do you take local in-country flights only?
They try and kill people. I once had a flight delayed for 8 hours when flying Air Canada because the pilot said he wasn't comfortable flying the plane they gave us. Basically they gave us a broken plane to fly with no regard for our safety, then forced us to wait 8 hours in the terminal because we'd already cleared US customs.
Well, if Quebec become independent, since Air Canada is based in Quebec, and they didn’t move, they’d become Quebec Air and what’s left of Canada won’t have a full-service airline.
As if traveling by air isn't already enough of a hassle. Imagine the confusion if we had Air Canada and Canada Air ? People would be showing up at the wrong airport terminals, and miss their flights. WestJet is just fine, and distinct from Air Canada.
Only big money could get a name so similar to another. There's a furniture company called NOTHING FANCY, I tried to get a company name for my furniture business called SOMETHING FANCY, there shouldn't be anything confusing about that; but Government said it is confusing, yet Big Money can transpose the name of another company and it's ok. Not surprising to me.
Worst company ever. Delayed flights due to short staffing. And will not pay out compensation while CEO gets $4.9 million in salary. What a disgusting joke. BOYCOTT WESTJET
Thank Goodness this is an April Fools! They would be 'fools' to rebrand. I might have had to stop using 'Canada Air' for fear I was buying a ticket on Air Canada. Scary thought!!!
I bet most of us read Air Canada, and not Canada Air! I panicked too, I go out of my way to fly West Jet....LOL. You can change your name to anything on the planet, but Air Canada.....lol. Always loved your sense of humor and the way you look after your customers, like no other. I remember Blue Jean Fridays and Orange on Halloween.
A+ Great writing!Perfect delivery!Excellent framing!Hope you kept my resume, because I want to work with your talented and creative marketing team even more now!
Oh my god I'm American but it looks a little weird because they should have stayed with the west jet titles but they went with Canada air and it looks a little copied to air Canada even though they are both awesome airlines
LOVE IT You guys never fail to amaze me with your marketing skills. Always fly WestJet 😇😇😇😇💕💕💕💕Thanks WestJet Proud to be a Canadian 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
For all the Air Canada bashers: Buy yourselves a private jet and get off the comment section. It's annoying to read the constant whining from not so frequent flyers.
Here in Canada need too many domestic airline on market, compare to International airline is cheaper sometime and good service too. Domestic is way expensive here.
You know you're Canadian when you see videos like this in your feed
canadian eh?
lool
lol so true
Richard Bartrem.... 0:12 Canadians don't shoot like plugs.
Elon musk
I wonder if It was Air Canada who called
Air Canada should have said that their name is now Canadian Airlines International :D
Are you kidding??
Air Canada is becoming JetWest
GeoBob perfect XD
GeoBob lol
"The most Canadian Canadian airline"
Digging a little hard into Air Canada, eh? 😆
Eh, Air Canada is more canadian in my opinion.
Cuz they aint even that rude, and they have canadian planes, so ye

Air Canada is like "wtf guys"
Like seriously, they been in the aviation since the beginning of the Canadian Aviation. I guess their gonna counter attack with their retro livery.
“Dude, westjet, what were you thinking?! Why copy us? You dare copy us?”
On UA-cam April fools comes one day early
Time zones actually.
Excellent prank WestJet! Your level of customer interaction goes a long way. I'm proud to be Canadian (sorry for my profile pic being from 'you know who'"!
Fight me
Maple leafers unite!

I don't know, buddy. I think I might win.

westjet posts april fools jokes since years ago
if you watched the whole video then you would know if it was true or false.
I'll admit, I've never had a good flight on air Canada, westjet is where it's at.
you haven't flown enough. AC is great.
David Stachon I have flown so many airlines. AC has improved but doesn't surpass alot of others. It's improved though for sure.
"AC has improved but doesn't surpass alot of others"
Sure. Perhaps not Emirates, Qatar, Thai, or Singapore.

I think Air Canada will be pissed lol
The 535 dislikes are all from Air Canada executives.
That was great! You had me scared for a minute, but I really do wish you could give Canadians a better rate when flying within our own wonderful country!
That's one expensive april fools joke
Carbine 04 and it wasn't even posted on the right day :(
This is really cute - and especially funny since itis only 31 March, not April first.
A day early.
But Its March 31st today, One day too early Canada Air.....
Aprils fool tomorrow you fools

Great spoof! Even the thought engenders a chill down the spine!Go WESTJET!
It's not April 1st anywhere in Canada yet though....
April Fools Early ! No way would you be like Air Canada
Canada Air? More like Air Canada! Lol! Why change the name? I liked the name WestJet!
Oh! It's April Fools in the Northern Hemisphere! Oops! I'm in the Southern Hemisphere so I don't know what the date is over there! Lol!
Up to their same old April Fools again. This one was fine but I have to say their best one was when they said they would offer a play area in cargo so the parents could enjoy their flight. Keep it up West Jet!
A day early for April Fools
when you change your name but forget to change it on youtube
when you don't watch the whole video before commenting
man just roasted himself im gone
when you see a random actor talking while walking with that same cheesy tune you know you gonna get april fooled
You got me! Great video! Loved watching all the "Canadian" stuff. Happy 150 Canada!
Oh my, I fell for it! (and it is june in the mean time)
I fly Westjet from Toronto to Calgary as a transfer from KLM on the 26th of juli. KL9806. Now I am looking forward to it some more. A fun airline :D
How is it an April fools joke when it's uploaded a day before April?
You are a day early. On a serious note if you want to be the Most Canadian Air line, can you look at servicing the True North Rankin Inlet, Arviat, etc. I don't think as you would have as many cancellations.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! I wanted this to be real. :( Especially since I hate Air Canada. The most unprofessional, rude, and un-Canadian airline ever.
Ellie Lannister lol but how would Canada air make since if there's air Canada .... lol
Yes...true. When airline rivalry really heats up I guess :P

This is so un Canadian.. They didn't even go to fucking Timmies bud.. wtf
Figured it was April Fool's, but a day early!
It's not even April 1st in the majority of Canada
Well, if Quebec become independent, since Air Canada is based in Quebec, and they didn’t move, they’d become Quebec Air and what’s left of Canada won’t have a full-service airline.
As if traveling by air isn't already enough of a hassle. Imagine the confusion if we had Air Canada and Canada Air ?
People would be showing up at the wrong airport terminals, and miss their flights.
WestJet is just fine, and distinct from Air Canada.

westjet always killin it hahahah
LMAO this is so good omg
West Jet all the way, better than Air Canada imo. I just need some free WiFi ;(
Worst company ever. Delayed flights due to short staffing. And will not pay out compensation while CEO gets $4.9 million in salary. What a disgusting joke. BOYCOTT WESTJET
Great video around Canada and glad to see its culture still upholds the fun in the business!
Thank Goodness this is an April Fools! They would be 'fools' to rebrand. I might have had to stop using 'Canada Air' for fear I was buying a ticket on Air Canada. Scary thought!!!
Apparently cramming passengers into uncomfortably conjested overpriced seats is a Canadian value..
Had me too! I had almost stopped watching, pissed off with a terrible idea, for a typically outstanding marketing group!! Well done!!
hahaha, what a shade thrown at AC.
I love you guys. open more international flights pleaseeeee
Hey WestJet, last time I checked, April Fool's day is still April first!!
$10 (fake) says they tried to mock Air Canada with that name... XD
I'm pretty sure April Fool's prank videos are supposed to be uploaded on April 1st, not March 31st
The video was a joke I little bit of me actually beilived they changed this but nope... and why is this on my recommended list
I bet most of us read Air Canada, and not Canada Air! I panicked too, I go out of my way to fly West Jet....LOL. You can change your name to anything on the planet, but Air Canada.....lol. Always loved your sense of humor and the way you look after your customers, like no other. I remember Blue Jean Fridays and Orange on Halloween.
The most Canadian Canadian airline? Wait, there are foreign airlines that are even more Canadian than all Canadian airlines?
This was a pretty weak attempt at a joke... seriously, you could have put some effort in.
Plot twist: the guy on the phone at 1:30 was WestJet's CEO
Air Canada:
so...will you guys be serving pancakes, bacon and beer on every flight?
Ummmmmmmmmmm isn't this kind of ripping off air canada?
Edit:and of course it's not true
The video that says "Up next" for me on the right is "Wesjet Boeing 737 almost crashing in water @st. Marteen".....
They had Us In The First Half Not Gonna Lie
I knew this was April fools, he didn't pick up his coffee from timmies eh what a fake
A+ Great writing!Perfect delivery!Excellent framing!Hope you kept my resume, because I want to work with your talented and creative marketing team even more now!
Probably the least funny April Fool's joke ever.
Loved it! Was so sad to hear of name change ...boo hoo .. but all is well again!
omg i fucking fell for it lol. completely forgot about april fools
If you want it to make it more Canadian walk into a Tim Hortons not a Coffee Time or Country Style
If this actually happened, us Canadians would have air Canada and Canada air
Currently doing a marketing project on WestJet, low key got scared they actually were changing their name...
A day early for this!! But i knew it was a april fools thing!!
I was totally believing this...and totally proud of being Canadian! Still love WestJet and actually flying WestJet to Jamaica in two weeks!!! :)
Good one! Though the name Canada Air sort of made me feel real proud!
When Canadians start competing on who's more Canadian
*Published on Mar 31, 2017*
Oh my god I'm American but it looks a little weird because they should have stayed with the west jet titles but they went with Canada air and it looks a little copied to air Canada even though they are both awesome airlines
Oh damn it I thought it was real god man
I think wedt jet is gone because is rwbaned to canada air
LOVE IT You guys never fail to amaze me with your marketing skills. Always fly WestJet 😇😇😇😇💕💕💕💕Thanks WestJet Proud to be a Canadian 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
I wonder why Canadaair
WEST jet or Air Canada
For all the Air Canada bashers: Buy yourselves a private jet and get off the comment section. It's annoying to read the constant whining from not so frequent flyers.
Dorine Blais my dad works for air Canada so don't talk trash about it
Wait, but it's still March 31
They're changing their name to Jet West
I believed this for like half a second
Can someone explain to me why this is #3 on trending
Lol that was a good video. Had me fooled for a minute
Imagine Air Canada watching this! 😂
Kinda wish they actually rebranded.
BUT ITS MARCH 31ST!!!
Someone tell them that Canadair is a company.
Jokes on them, video was posted on the 31st :P
VIVA CANADA!! LOL HAPPY APRIL FOOLS!
This is one way to poke your competition
Too bad Canada Air actually sounds good
canada air yep that doesn't familiar
Loved it. And love your service WestJet!
I can't think of any situation where I wouldn't rather just drive across country, unless I was clueless enough to buy something like a Nissan Micra.
Here in Canada need too many domestic airline on market, compare to International airline is cheaper sometime and good service too. Domestic is way expensive here.
Westjet usually has awesome April fools videos, unfortunately this wasn't among them. Hoping for funny next year!
Nah, I thought it was great. The plane did it for me.
Got me last year. Not this time Westjet :)
Air Canada was almost triggered
The times he said Canada is over 9000
Well done WestJet .... You're our airline of choice.
This is the most Canadian video ever
