This has been discussed before and I personally doubt this. Biz/leisure pax loyal to Star Alliance will never give up the extra status earnings flying gives them so no material increase in new trips there. Biz pax flying other alliances and leisure pax who dont care about FF stuff are already filling those flights anyway (driving, busing) so no material increase in new trips there, just maybe switching mode of transport. Unless you meant Dorval rail station demand, then sure. Also involves a huge assumption that things here will remain in a vacuum and never evolve. Don’t bank on that.
