Not sure about other carriers, but out of Metro Vancouver area, you have
YVR AC: 1/day
YVR WS:1/day
YVR PR: 4/wk (5th freedom rights on MNL-YVR-LAS)

but you also have
BLI G4: 3/day
BLI AS: 4/wk


As for the WS numbers being higher than AC, remember that WS serve LAS from a lot of places that AC don't
AC: Calgary, Edmonton [seasonal], Montréal-Trudeau, Toronto-Pearson, Vancouver
WS: Calgary, Edmonton, Kelowna [seasonal], Montréal-Trudeau, Regina [seasonal], Saskatoon [seasonal], Toronto-Pearson, Vancouver, Victoria [seasonal], Winnipeg
The yield on LAS,Hawaii,and Florida is always very low hence the reason AC puts their revenue assets in more profitable areas. BTW in terms of load factor AC is the leader in these markets.
