Further schedule update is likely for F8, since the current plan will require the 6th plane on Sunday. So either they will need to cut some flights, or somehow find the 6th plane to add to YVR base (and add a lot of new flights).

So Flair choose to cut the Saturday flight from both LAX/SFO and keeps the GDL flight, seems like Mexico is doing much better than transborer routes.
Speaking of Mexico, YVR-MEX is now extended into summer and increase to 4x weekly.
The entire schedule out of YVR is now full with 5 planes, and 2.5 planes will operate through the night.
YVR-YYC 32x weekly
YVR-YYZ 25x weekly
YVR-YEG 23x weekly
YVR-YWG 7x weekly
YVR-YUL 7x weekly
YVR-GDL 4x weekly
YVR-MEX 4x weekly
YVR-LAX 3x weekly
YVR-SFO 3x weekly
Total: 108x weekly
There is also an occasional YVR-YWG red-eye, operates about once a month.

You can ask chatgpt as to why and it will give you the answer. I just did. It's pretty accurate. The only thing not mentioned on chatgpt is the fact that half the 7M8s at AC are ETOPS 180 certified, meaning they can fly from YVR to Hawaii. This will enable AC to open a Rouge base at YVR. That was pretty much the only reason preventing them from doing it until now. A319s/320/321s at Rouge can't do YVR-Hawaii.
The rest of the reasons are on chatgpt.

Since AC now operates once weekly widebody YVR-HNL, not sure if some of the flight of the route will stay mainline while the majority of the service to Hawaii becomes Rouge...
