Domestic is +1 thus far on the jets and +14 to YHM but YTZ is -7 but YQG & YSB are somewhere around +12. At this point it seems like net capacity is roughly flat for this winter.

"Net capacity is flat" ... sure. Technically true but we traded Phoenix and beach and yvr frequencies for Windsor and Hamilton. Like saying Westjet is the same size as Emirates because they each have same # of aircraft.
Hard to square PD's exYOW network with the sentiment the PD exec was spewing a couple months ago. Would love to see a YOW PD YoY ASM analysis.

Not true. Even on the most penal YOWPVR segments, eating 200mph on the nose for material portions, their E2s were landing with 2,000kg+ of fuel
