Good aircraft utilization....
11. And with Pacific Western in mind, here is a multi-part bonus quiz item concerning the carrier's shuttle service between Calgary (YYC) and Edmonton (YXD) in the summer of 1968: All now ANSWERED

1) How many round trip flights was Pacific Western operating between YYC and YXD on a Monday through Friday basis at this time?

2) What was the one way walk up fare?

3) What type of aircraft was being operated on the service?

4) What was the name of this YYC-YXD shuttle service?

5) What did some passengers say in jest the letters PWA stood for?
