The problem is illustrated here.
If like me you have a business commitment in NB (not in Moncton, but Moncton is the closest destination WS allegedly fly to) from June 4 to June 10, this is what is bookable.
My destination is Saint John. Previously I've gone WS into YFC and driven the 50 minutes. It's a pleasant drive in the summer and really not much more than driving form YSJ. Now with no WS into YFC, I would have a longer drive from Moncton and my option is one flight a day and only sometimes.
Meanwhile, the red and white planes fly into YSJ with connections via YYZ or (shudder) YUL several times a day, so if I have to change my departure time or day, I can.
I am just about to buy a ticket on AC. WS could have had that money together with the money for the other 5 tickets I will end up buying into YSJ this year.
