* I'm guessing a A321 may just make it, or switch it to an A330 but again - too large for the market. (I dream about a 767 returning to the route with that lovely 2-3-2 config. (or was it 2-4-2)
You're not wrong about Halifax getting all the crappy planes. It seems every single YYZ-YHZ-YYZ I take is on the old A321.
As for YHZ-LHR, I'm really hoping it doesn't get rouged but I think that's exactly what's going to happen. The J loads are usually always full on this route, so they'd lose some revenue there by rouging it but I don't see them putting the A321XL on that route nor the A330.
