BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 #C80005 for West Jet has arrived and is in Airdrie having a few things checked before entering service. They were expecting 3 of them to replace the Thomas / Orion SLF that they plan to sell off. I think they will be getting rid of their Cutaways too!

It's the first for NFI in Canada to have those luggage racks inside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Board Admin A. Wong Posted May 24, 2007 Board Admin Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 Probably, but a few places in the States have them already. I guess it also depends on what kind of racks - the standalone ones that take up seating/floor space, or the ones that run overhead... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted May 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 thats right just plain white with there name ive seen them both running at the airport LOL! That will fool some Transit Customers into thinking they are the route 57 bus probably. Often times, the route 57 has the plain white 2007 D40LF's operating on it. And I am sure West Jet has their signs set to "Employee Shuttle" or whatever it usually read on the Thomas/Orion SLF. But you know well people read the signs on the buses. Many see a bus thinking it HAS to be THEIR bus! So many times I pull over for someone running for my bus when I am already running late only to have them get to my door and read the sign and say: "Sorry, Wrong bus!!!"

BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted May 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 Ok! Got an update on the D40LFR's. They actually got two of them I was told today. Not 3 which I had been told back in the fall. I was not really sure which section to put my new West Jet "Bus" gallery on my website, so it is in my coach section at this direct link: http://www.busdrawings.com/coach/westjet/index.htm Enjoy!

You can put Coaches and Shuttles section. Exterior is almost exact like Oakville D40LFR. Interior which I can see it has a luggage shelf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRT Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Pretty spiffy bus for the employees, are the D40LFRs at all major city airports or just Calgary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Board Admin A. Wong Posted June 11, 2007 Board Admin Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 I don't think I've even seen a Crew Bus here in Edmonton. WestJet is based in Calgary, so that might have something to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestJet is based in Calgary, so that might have something to do with it. Yeah I think it was discussed earlier that they are probably only in Calgary due to the fact the head office is here. It is doubtfull that WJ has buses in any other cities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted June 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 Recently heard somewhere that the service West Jet is operating with these two D40LFR's may end soon due to the Calgary Airport Expansion construction. So I wonder what may happen to these two buses along with the spare unit, a Thomas SLF-235. I really wish they would give their D40LFR's a bath! CB0004 is looking rather rough as it seems it has been involved in an incident at some point. Images taken June 6, 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRT Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 From what a employee of west jet understands, the buses are leased from NFI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcornell12 Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 From what a employee of west jet understands, the buses are leased from NFI. The 2 D40LFR are gone. My guess returned to NFI. They have gone back to there Orion SLF. They have cut back there employee shuttle as they have start giving green passes to there pilots and FA's.

BusRider Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Would there even be the slightest chance that these units could be going to Brandon? A picture in the Brandon Sun showed a D40LFR with Top Open Windows in BT colours, but the buses I saw at New Flyer had sliding windows (Including a D40LFR). So would the be any truth to this, or might it be to far fetched? Nevermind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
