1. The CUN shedule uses this plane the entire day (not overnight), leaves 08:45 and arrives at YEG 21:45 so Hawaii can actually use the plane overnight not CUN.
2. Have you seen the money floating around here recently....I am pretty sure that AB origin Hawaii flights would do much better than BC, even Business would get takers.
3. Are all eastern sun destination flights all daily so as to make a 3x a week flight out west a crazy proposition? Doubtful.
4. People always say if it made sense then AC would have already done it. Sure...okay.
