I should correct my earlier typo that I of course meant AC flying YYZ-LGW, not YYC-LGW. If only we had sensible airport codes in this country...

But how quickly do you think WS will realistically expand? It has taken them 20 years to get to the point of trying out widebodies on long-haul, and they're really only dipping their toes in at this point.
If this expansion goes well - which it may not, for a lot of reasons - I could see WS expanding it, but I expect we're looking at a couple of years, at least, before they would do that.
