True that the timing sucks for people going to Montreal for business, but it's more timed for international departures.
There isn't much London management can do about Toronto operations issues, but by trying to come up with alternative options that bypass Toronto, they are at least trying to satisfy local consumer demand.

The best thing that could happen and I believe it will happen is for Via or the province to establish train service directly from Pearson to other centres (K/W, London, etc.) This will eliminate the need for these smaller flights to London and allow Pearson to maximize profits for larger long haul flights. Pearson already has a plan to build what they call a Union Station 2 at the airport. This certainly won't help London airport numbers, but for me, I would rather get on a train to Pearson then fly or take Robert Q or Greyhound. I took Greyhound last time and they left 30 minutes late and didn't care whatsoever.
