Several media outlets, including the Seattle PI and USAToday, are now reporting that Canadian low cost carrier WestJet is dumping Southwest Airlines and their codeshare agreement in favor of an agreement with Delta Airlines. This would be a nice get for Delta and would also allow WestJet to play on a more even field with Air Canada. Air Canada is a member of Star Alliance with United, Continental and USAirways in North America while WestJet has been unaffiliated.
Delta Airlines recently announced a new proposal to swap landing slots in DCA with USAirways and their landing slots (and terminal) at LaGuardia that included selling 10 slots to WestJet. Obviously those slots would then be used to feed passengers to WestJet in LGA for flights into Canada.
