Try putting the shoe on the other foot for a minute. For example, 'Oh, what's Seattle? Why in the world do they need to go to SEA? Lots of others codeshare to SEA!'

(1) I'm not sure of the exact numbers, but TO must certainly be one of the five largest cities in North America. Surely there would be plenty of passengers?!?

(2) There is presently no direct service on any *A carrier from anywhere in the Nordic countries to anywhere in Canada.

(3) Condemning passengers from Northern Europe to transit at LHR, FRA or anywhere in the USA when the final destination is Canada is inhumane.
