What Happened to WestJet?
Jan 09, 2026In this episode of The Garrett Gaudet Podcast, I enter the conversation that’s got Canadians talking: WestJet’s viral bad-legroom video. A TikTok showing a family struggling to fit their legs under the seat on a newly reconfigured WestJet Boeing 737 has racked up over a million views — and sparked serious debate about comfort, safety, and how far airlines can push cost-cutting without isolating travellers. I discuss what’s happening with WestJet’s new seating layout, why the legroom is so tight, how the airline is responding, and what air passenger advocates are saying about the need for regulation.
