It really depends on what AC sees as their core market. Does it make more sense to have as many nonstops as possible from their three major hubs or having flights from a market where they are not dominant just to serve the number of FF located there. It would be interesting to know how many SE's are located in each market (AC must know this).
AC has really made the decision to focus on the three hubs. Maybe when the labour market improves and they have greater lift they will make the decision to take back the YYC-FRA route from LH.
