In theory should be a smart move given the number of Newfoundlanders working and living in this part of northern Alberta, just in time for the family travel season. How it will turn out in practice is another matter and only by doing it can the viability be confirmed. (And it means Parnel won't have to fly those DASH8s to visit his clients up there, he can do it non-stop from YYZ and bypass Edmonton altogether. How will PunishedEdmontonian cope without those AC bashing evenings?)

It will be interesting to see how the J/C cabin sells. Lots of disposible income and company paid for travel. Could make upgrades tight, though will relieve upgrade pressure on some of the YEG-YYZ-YEG flights.
