Over 90% of my flying on WS has been for leisure. The odd time I've done a business trip on WS has been because their schedule suited me better than AC's. For me, WS isn't and has never been a viable option for regular business travel within Canada, and even less so to the US.

As for their regional focus, by consolidating overseas flights out of YYC, the message I take is that they're not interested in my business from YVR. Their focus these days is Alberta centric, which I regard as a regional market. So be it.

My perspective is that WS is now regressing from an airline that was transitioning from adolescence to adulthood a couple of years ago to a less mature regional leisure airline in the future.
