I have no opinion on KLM, but if their flight attendants are anything like the women I saw in Holland (a guy can dream) I have a feeling I'll like them

It's the smallest capable aircraft in KLM's fleet. And KL configure their aircraft about as leisurely as possible
Well, you've been saying something of some sort would happen at some point for the last year, so I can only assume this is precisely what you were referring to
You're in the know, is this new service Summer only?
Any idea on how much skin EIAA has in this route? If any.
I sure do .... Wonder how FI is liking this deal.
This is great though, the table is almost set. Let's hope AC soon announces they're back to LHR daily this summer and let the chips fall where they may. Someone will lose though - FI, KL, AC, or EIAA.

Newark has been cancelled, by the looks of it from 10/25.
Somehow, this isn't too surprising... you can fly YEG-NYC with one connection a dozen ways to Sunday on every major airline, and the O/D business travel market that would be more likely to pay for a non-stop service likely isn't too large. EWR also opened up a number of new international markets, but not so many that couldn't be reached via a single connection elsewhere.

The cancellation announcement was made back in Aug. as noted here. The route had OTP issues from the start often running below 60%.
The Edmonton area has a large Dutch community and that and through connections should help it.
