They also mentioned its one thing to make money during peak summer on the 787s, but you have to find use of them the rest of the year. It was mentioned they were looking at increasing services (not sure how though - they don't have enough aircraft to add in anything else, unless they just mean extending the seasons on the routes).

Everyone was conservatives post pandemic so its understandable. There plan is to significantly grow Calgary, but without the 787's I really don't get how many more connections they can pull either unless they make things like Detroit, Boston, Quebec city, Portland year round.
There are 2 787's built for WestJet semi rotting away, they need some work but WestJet could likely get a good deal on them. Tokyo could go year round if they really wanted it, there are connections on both ends with the current slot.
