Sooo... the new combined schedule for winter 2019/2020 is out. Probably of most interest to Iqalungmiut who fly south a lot is the new YFB-YOW sched:
- different flight times on weekdays (good, I guess): the down flights are now at 1145 1450 and 1845 2150, the up flights are at 0715 1025 and 1415 1725
- there is now only 1 flight on Saturday and Sunday (bad), at the old 1345 and 0915 times
And the YFB-YVP-YUL flight still exists, thank god.

In general they seem to be trying to tighten capacity as much as possible and keep fares high. The last few months (especially August) have been a nightmare of sold-out flights, though this was partly because of fleet maintenance.

I haven't even looked yet at the carnage that is no doubt being wreaked on the communities.

P.S. No idea whether it's related to the merger, but Aeroplan availability now seems to be even crappier than before and they've jacked the fees way up.
