IDEA #208 – REUSABLE WATER BOTTLES FOR FLIGHT CREWS.
Flight Attendant Joy saw an opportunity to reduce costs for both
WestJet and the environment by getting fl ight attendants to swap
their plastic water bottles for reusable ones. $90,000 a year in
savings later, WestJet fl ight crews are quenching their thirst using
reusable water bottles.
IDEA #305 – SAVING TO THE LAST DROP.
Aircraft Maintenance Engineer Derek had an idea that WestJet
should implement a process to ensure it is using every last drop of
oil (and other aircraft-related fl uids required to service its fl eet). By
listening to him, WestJet will save around $31,000 a year.
OUR FOLKS CARED ABOUT COSTS. We already run a lean airline, so fi nding additional cost savings was no easy task. In a tough
economy, we needed to be tougher, and we were. Through our Ideas That Make Cents initiative, launched halfway through 2009,
WestJetters so far have found signifi cant savings and we’ll be counting on them to fi nd even more. After all, who better to fi nd ways
to stay lean than the WestJetters out there handling our guests with care every day.
