In the past I twice had flights cancelled when I had to catch the flight for the meeting. Helijet is more expensive and normal full of the Government types.

I'd much rather face some hassle to get out to YYJ just to know that I can get off the ground, and can work a full day without having to overnight.
I agree. I am still a proponent of having a "Salish" commuter flight pass for YVR-YYJ and YVR-YCD. Make it $150-$160 per credit in Flex. I would buy several per year.

The issue for me is I often book last minute and would like to fly AC, but at $250 for Flex on a 13 minute flight, I will fly Helijet or Harbour Air.
