Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This article presents a profile of WestJet, which was launched in 1996 with a focus on short-haul passenger flights in western Canada. The occasion for the article is the retirement of the last of its 737-200s, which have been replaced by a fleet of 737NGs. The shift reflects the company’s growth to a preeminent national carrier that challenges Air Canada with a share of just over 33 percent and rising. Elements of the company that CEO Clive Beddoe says contributed to its success include profit-sharing plans that permit the company to resist unionization of the workforce and high average aircraft utilization, as well as a policy of treating customers as “guests.” Losses have been registered, but profitability returned in the final quarter of 2005, avoiding a second straight year in the red. Additional information is provided on financial and operating results, possible partnerships with other operations and route expansion.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
