  • This just happened to me a week ago. WestJet missed their own connecting flight and they found seats on an American Airlines flight to my destination via an extra overnight stay in the USA, gave me a few meal vouchers (useless at the airport 7-11) and paid for the hotel. They didn’t tell me I’d have to:

    • pay for my luggage again
    • pay roaming fees to call only to find out they gave my hotel shuttle to someone else
    • pay for a taxi ride to my resort because their shuttle service marked me as a no-show on the day I would have arrived had they not screwed up.

    The US customs agent was bewildered when told I didn’t want to visit the united states but had little choice.





  • Is this because they get limited compensation from the union for a short time during strikes and lockouts, and by being laid off at this time, this employment insurance may kick in around the same time as their union strike benefits dwindle?

    I know so little about these things. I’m just going by what my wife has mentioned in passing, and she was a local president (not as glorious a position as it sounds – more like whomever got the short straw every two years).










  • I feel your pain. It seems these apps have been built by monolinguists, and the language preference/requirement you mentioned are more of an afterthought than, for example, quality/resolution preferences.

    For subtitles, at least, a bilingual family needs to have two separate instances of bazaar.

    Of course, that’s less than ideal when you start talking about two entire video files when all you want is an additional audio stream.

    I’ll be checking back here hoping you’ll find a solution.
