I wonder how many DL elites the YYZ agents see? Likely not many, which is why this probably stood out to them even more!
Probably more than the usual outstation agents. If flying to another airline's hub, there are presumably a lot of cities that are nonstops on that other airline but require a connection on DL: one of the stronger reasons to take a connection over a nonstop is being elite. So YYZ on DL would be expected to be disproportionately O/D from DL hubs (correlates to elite-heavy) and DL/ST elites.
