We will see. YYC already has the highest % of connecting passengers in the country for major airports. It's sitting at 66% O&D and 34% connecting now. That's what a hub is for - connecting passengers. It lessens the O&D oil and gas boom and bust cycle.

Agreed like I said AC will most likely stick to the larger O&D Markets and the network will still maintain the feed from BC AB and SK to support their routes.
And yes WS has been successful with its predominantly North American hub ops at YYC. Venturing into the long haul market... a totally different set of variables.
