According to BNN, the LGW route (or at least the first one) will be out of YYZ. If correct, it's unfortunate that they're piling onto the route.. AC, TS, BA, ZX, and now WS. My guess is one of those 5 is not coming out of that route in good shape.

I am assuming they can lease hanger space from Air Canada or perhaps some of the old Canadian airlines handers in Vancouver if needed.
Hope they get those birds in the air soon......
