AC was still operating ORD-YOW this spring/early summer and the flights disappeared sometime this summer. In Aug I was looking at booking one this autumn and they were still on the schedule and were the best connections to some UAL flights from Asia.

Anyway, I am more interested in your comments that Jazz can only operate a certain % of AC jet flights. Can you amplify on this? Is it due to agreements with unions, or some other conditions?? Thanks.
