I really don't understand MU. With their winter schedule, their PVG-YVR flight leaves PVG at 11am, too early for connections from around China and Asia and it takes about 2 hours to do a transit in PVG. On the way back, their flight leaves YVR at 750am, too early for connections from other parts of Canada.

What's the point of this code share?

BTW, I flew them with my parents last May/June and their A346 were actually at most 40-50% full. This year, my parents flew them again in May/June are their A346 were 90++% full. Business on MU improved a lot over the last year.
