what happened to sfo/yyz frequencies?
Just looked at a return from YYZ later this month and departures are 8, 4 and 6 -- that's an 8 hour hole in the day where there used to be a couple flights.
Nice that 2 of the 3 are 787s but that is a lot of frequency missing from historical practice when it was 4-5x A320s and a 767/787 daily.

I'm sure someone can say for sure, but I feel like they cut one extra flight more than usual for the winter schedule. I'm feeling the pain right now as well. I'd prefer more frequency on smaller planes.

Yes, I feel the pain too. Less options including no red eye a couple of weeks back

Standard seasonal reduction. November goes down to two flights per day on some days.. it will stay at 3 flights per day through mid December when it goes to 4, until May when it goes to 5, and June when it goes back to 6.
There is also now 2 widebodies per day whereas in prior years it was 1 (or none)
