Hey Aft:
Here are some numbers for you.
Average daily O&D to YZF from Southern Canada (YUL,YYZ,YOW etc)
300 pax
Estimated Daily gross revenue from those markets
$100,000
Estimated cost of CRJ r/t YEG-YZF
$8,000
Average fare YEG-YZF
$350
Market profile is
YZF-YEG/YYC-beyond (with a briefcase)
I agree that YZF with CRJ's will make a ton of money for AC. The YYC flights in particular are perfectly aligned for connecting traffic over the whole AC system. The YEG flights are a nice back-up and allow for the first time a late afternoon YZF-YEG-YYZ/YOW/YUL connection.
