While that was a great PR gimmick for West Jet you should know that every year "scair Canada" employees quietly raise funds and take hundreds of sick or handicapped children and disadvantaged kids to Disney for one wonderful day of carefree fun. Without a PR machine. It's called Dreams Take Flight.
Dreams Take Flight is a wonderful programme! I have always wondered why it only gets press in local suburban newspapers, or a small spot in the Gazoo! It's a great and wonderful thing! Correct me if I am wrong, Dash, but it is my understanding that everything is donated - the plane and all it takes to get it there and back; the flight and cabin crews are on their own time - there are, what? 200 kids on that flight? Entrance to the Disney Park; their food - everything! That's a revenue plane out on a volunteer mission for a day, and that is no free ride! It needs fuel, mechanics, paperwork, landing fees .... everything! A commendable operation, to be sure. I have always wanted to do something for that worthwhile endeavour, and if you have a contact, Dash - I would love to donate either time or money.Originally Posted by dash
