From a brand and route perspective, I would say that WestJet will cater to the LCC orientated routes and Sunwing to the ULCC ones in the future, with Swoop aircraft eventually migrating to Sunwing due to the same 189 seat -800 / MAX 8 config (Swoop pilots staying at WestJet until Sunwing is in the same bargaining unit).
