Unless something bad happens at a hub and then it's a cluster....
Westjet has ambitions to be everything to everybody and I don't think it is to their advantage to do so. Westjet is so liked because they didn't operate like a traditional Canadian airline of the time. Becoming the reincarnation of Canadian Airlines will probably be their downfall.
Southwest makes a decent case for the point-to-point North American travel thing. It is the only major US airline that hasn't taken a trip through bankruptcy court in the last 20 years either.
