Tim Morgan, along with Calgary businessmen Don Bell and Mark Hill found an opportunity to start an airline. They all reached out to David Neelman, who was president of Morris Air and asked for assistance on writing the business plan for WestJet. They joined forces and WestJet Airlines came to life.
