The EU following in the footsteps of SK. Ok, perhaps it is a coincidence. However still a good idea. Air Canada will do fine. They will take best practice dealing with SK and apply it elsewhere.

The point of this Thread as the Moderator has reminded all are the implications for AC changing its EU schedule - nothing to do whether Canada or other countries will follow suit on DST???

The twice annual schedule change is well orchestrated, yes, but this change should it become permanent as EU is proposing means AC deciding to make an a one-time major schedule change that may impact all regular TATL travelers, forcing personal schedule changes from what has been routine for years.

For me, my preference is outbound from YVR, x-YYZ for the early morning arrivals in London and Frankfurt - should AC decide to keep the YYZ schedule time, this will then mean missing the early morning connections I take elsewhere in EU. If AC keeps EU schedule arrivals intact that will mean changing my YVR departure time, the type of a/c on the trans-con etc.

and yes it will get sorted - but most Threads are about stuff that will get sorted too.

My point is AC should know how to deal with flying in and out of regions that do not do these daylight saving events. It has been serving Saskatchewan since its earliest history. In the case of SK, what tends to happen is the airlines schedule revolves around the airports hub not the outstation. For AC, WS and Delta the airports in Saskatchewan are outstations. For the local regional airlines Saskatoon is a hub.

I would expect the same pattern would follow for AC, they would start by keeping the times the same at their hubs then review each flight and adjust if timing at the other end was uber important for some reason, such as fitting into a local hub at the other end.
