    As a McDonald's employee, I am truly grateful that this is where all the numerous donations has gone to. WestJet is doing God's work

    Bawling again.... Almost a year ago I got to see my friend, Darian's Mom, for our high school reunion...and we were all so happy Darian was healthy. A short time later we found out he was ill again. My heart broke Saturday morning when I heard the news their sweet boy was gone.

    I work at LAS and every time I see a WestJet landing or taking off, I tell my co-workers that WJ is the coolest airline flying ... You proved the point again!! (to the flight crews - when taxiing at LAS to 25R (edit - it is now 26R) for take-off, if you see someone by the UPS facility tipping his hat to you ... )

    Thank you West Jet and Ronald McDonald House for bringing some joy to my highschool friend and her family during such a tough time. I'm absolutely bawling with happiness sharing the moment.

    Even though I don't know the family i'd like to offer my sincerest condolences to them. This is such an inspirational video. I recall losing a young boy that I coached many years ago through a terrible accident while on a Minor Hockey Tournament. It's still something we all often think about. Rest easy little guy. Westjet, what can I say. Awesome gesture. Class act !

    I have never flown West Jet but for years have been so impressed with the things you do. This video, as a parent, really touched my heart. My prayers are going to Darian and his family. My husband and I will be in Canada in a few weeks. When making our airline plans my main request to him was to fly West Jet if that was a possibility. I am happy to say that my dream vacation will end with our West Jet flight leaving Vancouver on August 14th. Although I don't want my vacation to be over, I am looking forward to ending it with a chance to try West Jet. Please keep up the good work, you all are a wonderful company and this world needs a lot more like you!

    Does this mean WestJet will be serving Happy Meals on domestic flights now? :)

    • @westjet
      @westjet  7 лет назад +8

      No plans to add Happy Meals at this time but we did add McCafe coffee on board last year. We've partnered with Ronald McDonald House Charities for a number of years now, and are thankful for the great work they do helping families like the Hunts. We hope you agree.

  • @AJGravityAnalyticaCap
    @AJGravityAnalyticaCap 7 лет назад +6

    I didn't need to know about this. Why can't things like this just be done for the good and not to profiteer off of the family's pain? When I was a kid a friend of mine was at the McDonald's house. And I used to bike there to see her. These kids don't want to be alone but they certainly don't want to go through this on youtube either.
    I think it is great that this event happened for the family. But, WestJet should have just done it for them and not turned it into a commercial. I want to live in a world where corporations do this and I never find out about unless the child happens to tell me.

      A H to share and promote the idea of kindness, you also have to remember they are a business, and a business can't suceed without advertisement

      @ronjeremy5729 7 лет назад +3

      Companies do charity work all the time and in many cases, large organizations request no recognition. However, there are times when companies have to promote it or the general public gets the impression all they care about is the bottom line even though they donate over 100 million per year.
