No idea on the YOW-ORD loads but I know numerous people travelling to the DFW and/or DEN areas who use the UA ORD-YOW flight numerous times quarterly.
Personal antidote is I wonder if flying mainline with 12 UA First seats offsets having the plane go out with potentially 20 empty econ seats, or selling those 20 seats at a basic fare level.
Nevertheless, happy to see a US mainline carrier here.

I wonder if we'll occasionally see an A320 upgrade here too or if the equipment remains year round. United is smart about YOW with no competition on their ORD and IAD routes. They really do offer a global network through those hubs too. Still a mystery to me why PD hasn't launched YOW-IAD/ORD at least once daily or go after an unserved city like PHL.
