If you're sitting in Y, AC is also very much the domestic bus of the skies. Except the AC bus has a much worse OTP.
If you're sitting in Y on a rouge flight, it's an especially uncomfortable bus that's seriously overcrowded. Also with a "last in North America" OTP.
Since most domestic flights in Canada are pretty short, WS represents a valid option that is fully comparable to AC's Y product. If one is a flying bus on domestic routes, so is the other.
