Yes & regarding Flair over on the SkyscraperPage Canadian Airport Forum. It was mentioned YYC- Saskatoon YXE is 1 of the cuts for Winter 23, means it's a (Seasonal route) & alao Flair has cut YYC - Los Cabos SJD 1x weekly that was (previously announced few months ago for W23).

I bet many are like my family this summer. Flying into one airport in Europe. Travel around then fly home out of Barcelona. Love all the options WS provides us Westerners now

^Was an hour delayed today too.

On the plus side, it seems to be going out 90%+ every flight.

Why is NRT hard to get out on time? Are the Europe flights leaving on sched?

In general, the WS Europe operation has very poor OTP - even if they leave here on time they're coming back late which is obviously not the fault of YYC crew. That said, the NRT flight is scheduled such that the perpetually late Europe frames shouldn't sink it.

Westjet has really paid the price for out sourcing, not only YYC ground crew, but agents and out stations too. Id say it's safe to assume Onex is more worried about profits over OTP.

Im assuming you mean they broke the sheer pin, while not a good thing, it's also not unheard of either, and the reason it is there. Probably the ramp guys first 87 push, wont forget it either.

Over the next week, WS really ramps up its schedule.

-EDI starts Wednesday
-BOS/AUS/ORD/YYT all resume
-SEA/PDX/ATL gain additional frequencies.

Side note:
-YYG has been increased to 5x weekly from late June-early September.

Are these all from YYC?

I’m surprised that PDX is gaining frequencies! In fact I had heard that it was being chopped? Must be a rumour only!

Yes that’s all from YYC, and PDX was cut from the winter schedule, so it may only bring going summer seasonal.

PHX seems to be gaining a Thursday/Sunday frequency as well.

hollywoodcory · #**11131** Posted **May 15, 2023, 1:48 PM**

BNA and SFO also gain additional frequencies in June.

Side note: NRT departed on time yesterday but still over an hour late on the inbound.

hehehe · #**11132** Posted **May 18, 2023, 3:10 PM**

YYC is going to be chaos over the next few days (or at this point weeks since both sides are digging their heels)

Even today. Entire evening Transborder bank and all 787 TATL flights cancelled.

People_talking · #**11135** Posted **May 19, 2023, 2:50 PM**

WS and Union reached a deal, so no strike. Excited to see the ramp up in Ops next week rather than chaos.

hollywoodcory · #**11136** Posted **May 19, 2023, 5:16 PM**

Some non-strike related news:
WS has officially extended CDG right through the winter (was previously only showing until Dec 28).

hollywoodcory · #**11137** Posted **May 20, 2023, 5:36 PM**

Some Phoenix related news:

Lynx appears to be dropping PHX by mid-summer.

WS in this weeks update has removed AZA. This isn't really surprising with all the ULCC's now focused at PHX.

hehehe · #**11138** Posted **May 21, 2023, 2:08 AM**

Seems like YHZ will be going 4x daily on days 12357 on WS. Tons of Capacity

First Atlanta redeye goes tonight and is over 90% sold; the morning ATL's load appears unaffected.

High loads because they are catching up from the lockout? Or just that many connecting through to Europe etc..?
