So now instead of having one plane cycle back and forth between Toronto and Europe with several hours between flights, the plane lands in Toronto and leaves again almost immediately for Asia (or wherever). The consequences are obvious.
Very interesting. So its not just my imagination lol.

I hope that, over time, they realize that their poor OTP has gotten worse, and that they realize their folly.

But if it is not affecting the bottom line, I am not sure we will see any changes.
