The 763 J is not business class. It's bigger seats in premium economy with PE food, PE lounges, no doubt (lack of) PE fast track, etc.

I would agree the soft product is "Premium Economy". However the seats are recycled Qantas domestic business class seats.

At most airports in Canada on the domestic side its either Maple Leaf or Plaza Premium (also used by WestJet). In most cases I would talk the Plaza Premium lounge over the Maple Leaf. There is something weird happening at the lounge. I noticed the lounge in Calgary had a desk on the side with a WestJet banner. Is WestJet starting to staff these lounges?
