100% true ... but the quote about DL shorthaul cross- border potentially moving to WS Q400s came from (according to the article) the joint DL/WS filing that they made with the US DOT on Tuesday.

Still, that doesn’t mean that it’s going to happen. More like they’ve asked permission in case they want it to happen.

Regardless, the list of potential routes that the author included in the article is unfeasible. One or two of those routes could flip over with the current fleet — but certainly not all.
