Service animals and WestJet

Westjet’s Customer Service for People who have a Service Animal

I read a story on CBC about a boy who couldn’t travel on a plane with his service animal because the airline couldn’t confirm in advance whether the service animal could fly on the plane.

This upset me because the family ended up having to leave the service dog at home and as a result the boy and his family didn’t have the vacation of their dreams because of the struggles the boy endured without having  the coping tools that his service dog provided.

A large corporation, like an WestJet, should have accessibility training in place; which includes the guidelines for how to serve customers with service animals.

Don’t be that business! Don’t ruin a family’s vacation or other experience because you or your workers just don’t know. It’s unacceptable when there is training available.

Get your workers trained on the legislative requirements an how to help your customers with disabilities.

Get trained with Empower Learning. It’s affordable, easy and all online.

Invite multiple employees at a time (using our downloadable template) to start their training

You can use this method to add up to the remaining seats in your account. This is a advanced method for group leaders who are comfortable editing .csv files. We strongly recommend you read the full instructions before attempting this method.

Download the sample .csv file

In a text editor or a program like MSExcel:

Open the same file on your computer.

Complete the .csv file with the first and last names and email addresses of everyone you want to invite. Enter a temporary password or leave blank if you want us to generate one for you.
When done, save your .csv file.

IMPORTANT: When saving in MSExcel, a warning may appear—Some features in your workbook might be lost if you save it as a CSV (Comma delimited) file. Do you want to keep using this format? YES, you want to keep this format! Make sure you save your file as a .csv NOT .xlsx.

Return to the pop up window, select your saved .csv file and select Choose File.

In the pop up window, select either Add and invite user or Send enrollment key.

If you select Send enrollment key, you can also select Suppress emails. You can give the enrollment key to the employee offline. The employee can use a different email address with that access key. It will update in your dashboard. Otherwise, all instructions and links are included in the employee’s invitation email.

Select the Add users button.

You can review the upload and click Done to return to your dashboard.

You will see the users added and their corresponding enrollment keys.

If any users were added in error, you can select the checkbox next to their name and select the Remove button.
