It is interesting to note though that AC seems to be boosting a lot of its Euro destinations this fall. AMS got another run, CPH just got another run, Rome is going to run for 2 extra months 3 days from YYZ and 2 days from YUL instead of 3X to Milan.
It will be most interesting to see what AC itself has to say about its strategy tomorrow.
From what I've read, much of the recent profitability of North American airlines is due to capacity restraint during the (slow) economic recovery. With all this addition/expansion of service by AC, is anyone else worried they haven't learned their lesson and will be back in trouble when the next downturn hits?
