Someone tell Westjet. They have a print ad running with a thin overlap with what would be beaver marked as 'your available time' and what is the duck side as 'our flights' demonstrating that the majority of time there is no overlap predicted.

Why not credit the actual artist?
It's Tenso Graphics and is also available as a shirt. My first thought was "Why is this not a shirt?" so this is probably good information to add.
