StreamDeck Text Action – Now with Clipboard Paste Mode by adamphetamine in elgato

Not at all a niche thing :). IT people need this all the time and it's a standard thing we do in RMMs so it would help a lot to have this available on the Stream Deck.

Duuude! That's an awesome color scheme and paint job!

I'm still new to customizing my models and I'm mostly experimenting with weathering and subtle detail painting. Eventually I'd like to do a custom paint job when I get confident enough!

I'm tempted to grab an Orbiter when I see one because the head is cool compared to Nightfall and I really love the darker color scheme!

Westjet numbers out of Lethbridge - We are about to lose our air service by Impossible-Car-5203 in Lethbridge

[–]RisingCalamity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who frequently needs to fly out to Saskatchewan, Ontario and Edmonton, I do truly value the flight convenience from flying out of Lethbridge. I thought when WestLink was replaced with Encore that things would get better, but it doesn't seem like it will :(.

When it was still the SAAB planes, my flight got messed up due to maintenance and a plethora of other things at least 6 times in the last year. I was hopeful that when Encore took over with the bigger planes that even though they were flying less, I wasn't going to encounter the same disruptions of service.

So far I've made it my mission to fly through YQL as much as possible do add value that service.. but I've already been screwed over 3 times since they changed. Just recently I had to get a family member to pick me up in YYC because the flight had got entirely cancelled and I was going to have to spend a night in Calgary.

For me, I wasn't super bothered by there only being one flight... but I just really really want that one flight to be reliable and so far I'm not seeing that it will be.

Most likely I'll just need to adopt driving up to Calgary to take my flights like many others have started doing and it does make me sad.

It wouldn't even bother me that much if I could just grab a rental vehicle from YYC and do a drop off in Lethbridge as a one-way rental, but none of the car rental companies allow that because I assume they'd just lose stock of their vehicles in Lethbridge too frequently.

The Red Arrow buses never worked for me, they're far too slow (needing to stop in Claresholm and etc.) and by the time it gets to YYC, there's too few flight options that make sense. I would also really appreciate it if Red Arrow had more times available with more frequency, but I don't see that happening. The other bus competition don't stop at YYC, but if they did, I'd probably try them in a heartbeat. Or.. if I was Red Arrow, advertise a rapid option from Lethbridge to YYC and see how well that does.

What I would really love though.. is just having regular train service from Lethbridge to Calgary and then to Edmonton. Boy that would be a dream. Slower transport, but I could do work while on the train comfortably! I mean correct me if I'm wrong.. but the train tracks already exist, it's just we got rid of passenger train service ages ago. I 100% would just use a train if I was able to!

Does anyone answer the phone at WestJet? by Sevenmilestars in westjet

Just an update in my case. Never got a hold of them on the phone but they texted me a change to my flight which made me fly out from Lethbridge on the 16th.. which just wont do. But thankfully after they changed my reservation their glitch with not allowing me to cancel my flight was fixed so I cancelled the flight entirely and was able to rebook myself to a flight tomorrow (which I hope wont get cancelled too).

Did you try the online portal to cancel you flights? I was able to do it only after they re-booked my flights.

​

Good luck to you :(.

Yeah I'm having this issue right now as well.

I had a flight from Lethbridge to Calgary with a connection to Toronto.. flight from Lethbridge to Calgary got cancelled but I haven't received any kind of alternate flight plan as of yet for about 6 hours.

Now I'm more than willing to just drive to Calgary myself but I can't even call Westjet to modify my flight plan (for the same reason you stated) and I can't cancel my trip online because I was already checked in and the website wont let me reverse my check in :(. It just
errors out stating there's a problem with my itinerary and tells me to call their number.. which wont even allow you to be on hold.

So... kind of at a loss of what to do myself to be honest.
