Any long haul service right now for YEG would come at the expense of newly expanded service from YYC, which is unlikely.
I agree that it'd be JFK before EWR, and also think it'd be UA Express on YEG-ORD before WS launches it.

On top WS not sacrificing YYC routes for YEG. It’s much easier to add more long haul routes from YYC because of the large amount of feeder routes they have into YYC to feed all the flights. Either being domestic or trans border ones. Think if YEG wants more access to Europe it will be with KLM or Condor.
