Fisch is correct; there was no equipment failure (although it does happen from time to time - that happens when safety is the number priority!). Weather in St. John's wasn't looking good so we cancelled the YYZ-YYT flight and took all Toronto-originating, Dublin-bound guests on a non-stop flight to Emerald Isle. St. John's-bound guests were accommodated onto other flights to their destination.

In fact, speaking of mechanicals, tail 001 flew PDX-YVR on Monday, June 8, because WS1777 SFO-YVR needed some attention and diverted to Portland. Tail 810 was flown in from Calgary and brought the guests to Vancouver on IROP recovery flight WS8977. Once back in tip-top shape, the original aircraft was positioned back to Vancouver as WS8976.
