But the record shows most people choose on price, not convenience, so "doable" is probably enough.
100%. I don't see many people living on the Island option for this unless driving to YHU is convient and the schedule fits.
I see it much more for people who live on the South Shore, Centre du Québec and the 'Ships. I know many people who work on the Island, live on the South Shore and travel to Toronto for business 6-8 times a year. They were regular AC flyers and even realized that for the first time their flying (plus a CC) could have them earning E50k. For them, this is a no-brainer: forget status. They'll be flying PD out YHU whenever possible.
