Those were like feast or famine flights, YEG-YYC both ways were very sparce <40%, to/from YWG were like 80%, everything else were 100% or close to it. Flights to/from YXS, being squeezed like sardines in with a plane full of lumberjack types, FUN... not. Showers before boarding should be mandatory for certain locations.

I can totally see cut-backs to the hourly between YYC-YEG. Having said that, do seasons affect travels? On routes like YYC-YEG, many people drive in the summer, do loads increase during the winter months?

Hotel shortage in Edmonton last couple of weeks, I was told it was the Canadian Rodeo Finals, many cowboys/cowgirls from all over in town.
I doubt AC will cut back YEG-YYC. They go at least hourly, with ever 30 minutes during peak times.
