Please correct me all you travelling executrons if need be, BUT:

How many of you really live downtown or else go to the airport from your downtown office? If you are business travelling, wouldn't you tend to leave from home and head to the airport? If so, why would you take a limo downtown (in rush hour?), wait for a ferry, then get on a puddle jumper to get to one of the above??

I wouldn't do it myself. Easier and quicker for me to get to YYZ.

There was a reason that Jazz didn't have a lot of flights off the island. Likely demand is low.
