I think we have to be clear that it's a hub, but only in so far as Air Canada is concerned (and it's partners). For Westjet (which I should say, after the hell they and American put me through on my recent flight back from Chicago for the American Planning Association Conference doesn't deserve to be an airline - but anyway) they aren't using YHZ as a hub, yet. Once their regional airline launches, then maybe, but will depend on the routing system.
Wow, I'm in overload from my trip to Chicago - talk about a confusing airport! American's terminal is horrible - have they heard of moving sidewalks? I was stuck there for 2 days because of thunderstorms and having to go from gate to gate, I felt like I walked about 40 miles! I was supposed to leave at 4pm on Wednesday and I ended up flying out to LA at 10am on Thursday, only to have westjet not accept me at the counter, because the flight was late! I was stuck in LA for 7 hours, no vouchers for food or anything. Thank god I found an airline lounge that was open to the public; but I still ended up getting stuck in Vancouver on the way back. At least American paid for that and gave me food vouchers (finally).
