Talk about a point-to-point schedule out west... Where's the hub? Toronto?
Are all these flights extensions of YYZ-YVR/YEG/YYC/YWG routes?

Many people thought that WestJet was 'insane' and would not last.
The markets and timings of what JetsGo is offering now are a close parallel to what WestJet started out with in their second year. WestJet is now the size and scope of CAIL's domestic operation and JetsGo is taking WestJet's former position.

Does the YVR Vancouver - YLW Kelowna route really have that much demand? AC has 4 flights to YLW/6 to YVR and WS with 3 to YLW and 2 to YVR and now with Jetsgo adding 4. Eleven flights a day, isn't that a bit too much for a city of about 100 000? I've never really thought of Kelowna as being a huge tourist destination either. Can somebody clear this up?
