From the ballpark capacity I was told, Rouge is a good guess that I honestly hadn't though of. But I'm not sure if the new pilot contract would allow that or not. Since they are replacements for E90s, I thought they'd have to remain mainline despite the 321s coming from a source other than mainline and thus eligible to go to Rouge on that clause.
Perhaps AC can work around it by having AC mainline pilots at mainline wages fly Rouge branded aircraft? I don't know enough to say for certain. I guess I can wait 4-5 months to find out.
Your Florida/Leisure comment made me thing of Rouge.
Honestly, when I first read about leasing 321s, I figured it would be for routes where domestic 767s/330s are currently operating and they are not profitable for those routes: YYZ-YYC, YUL-YVR, YYZ-YHZ those YYZ-YVR routes that are not a repositioning of aircraft for long haul international flights.
With the new J setup on the 321s, I see than as workhorses for higher traffic domestic routes. But you obviously have more insider information that I do, so I await, as you seem to be doing also.
