Westjet Lounges

I got a newsletter from WestJet recently announcing the launch of two new Westjet Lounges in Calgary & Vancouver, to date Westjet has two other lounges. I, as a somewhat frequent flier to Westjet, think this is really a waste of money on their part! In recent years WestJet prices have raised to be comparable to Air Canada or the late Canada 3000 (or was it 2000?) regardless it's appalling as WestJet was intended to be a cheap way to travel.

They cut corners to save money on flights by not serving meals but then they build & staff lounges? To what end? To be comparable to frufru hoity toity airlines with "business lounged"? You can't be hoity toity & cut corners! I think the money could go towards onbaord food that isn't of the "fast" variety or at the very least, not spend the money at all and keep flight costs down!
