Yeah 757.. The only thing missing was a $31.95 Resort Fee per day for premium internet.

Not implying other options are better, just a comment on the new normal

Thanks for the report!

Thanks iromanjt. I don't thing this route is the only one facing this issue. The wider body aircraft North American have been weened off for these smaller jets; sometimes, but not always with higher frequencies. It seems to be getting ever more common in Canada with the trans continentals. I'd rather a once a day on a large jet than these smaller ones anytime.
