Surprisingly, they don't use much of our available capacity, much to our chagrin (but shouldn't be surprising to us either since the freight division of our own company doesn't use our space). I'm at both of our Toronto hubs nightly, and there isn't any CP material going through either, and none of the southwestern Ontario terminals handle any. Maybe in the rural areas of Canada, there might be more of a crossover, but not so much in the populated areas. It's basically the air network that sees the CP freight.
I agree with Cargoagent that I don't see how we can add CP, but I don't know what kind of volume we are talking about either, or how the 727 compares to the DC10 in cargo capacity. Maybe Kelowna is planning to utilize the planes during the day.
