You Be the Air Canada Scheduler

Its Tuesday, May 22, 2007 and you are starting your new job today as an Air Canada Flight Scheduler.

1. Your first job is to schedule a flight from YYZ to "Porttle", a fictitious city half way between San Francisco and Seattle on the coast of Oregon just north of the California border. The city has a population roughly the same as Portland, is primarily business oriented due a base of biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, but there is a tourist component as well.

Between connections and passengers originating in Toronto, there are between 100-130 passengers who want to travel to and from Porttle every business day and Sunday, and about 70-90 passengers on a typical Saturday.

When do you schedule this flight, using what aircraft, on what days, and why?
