What's often happening is that one of the 787 heading to Europe will break or be deemed AOG a few hours before departure, around 5 pm or so. They have an extra frame in place to swap, but their ground crew is undermanned and takes far too long to reposition that aircraft on to a gate.
So I'd say the blame goes partly to our gating situation, and partly to WS incompetence.

Does Calgary have the infrastructure to load/unload passengers at a remote stand?
Using a remote stand is not idea, but that is what Vancouver built out just before COVID to deal with cases like this. Very common in Europe.
