Is WJ going to fly 737s on YUL-YQB ? I think not........on YYZ-YQB.....hmmmmm......don't think so either...so what will they fly to La Vieille Capitale ?

I don't see how this is going to work because even with cnx feed off of AF coming into YUL (2 or 3 flights depending on season) and YYZ (1 or 2 flights seasonally) the number of WJ flights to YQB is going to be very limited.....perhaps a single daily flight sometime in mid/late-afternoon to pick up the cnx AF pax in order to fill up the plane ?

Meanwhile QK serves YUL-YQB with frequent flights throughout the day on DH8s and YYZ-YQB with CRJs (a CRA-705 about once a day) with a fairly good schedule, with planes being pretty full IME.

AC mainline pulled out of here about 2.5 years ago so we don't even see a 319 around here anymore.....
Except for the CAF and charters such as TS, nobody is flying anything bigger than 50/70 seater RJs into/out of YQB: QK, CO, NW, DL.......all with limited schedules except for QK...not sure how a 737 is going to work.
