DL will be making a return. Delta is more than doubling the number of daily flights between the U.S. and Canada starting in September, eight to 19, resulting in a 150% increase in available seats.

I predict Encores fleet will change in the coming years. Perhaps a new fleet type.

Jazz Q400s also don't have running water.

2 coffee makers onboard (one for coffee and one for tea), filled with bottled water (pre covid days we'd carry a half trolley worth of water for the coffee makers).

Random fact, when Air Canada switched to Naya for bottled water, it caused a bunch of issues for the Q400 coffee makers due to it's mineral content. Solution was to switch to aquafina for the coffee makers only.

Have taken the YEG-SEA run a few times on Alaskan air lines. Its always been full and they were adding a 3rd flight a day before Covid happened. Always have appreciated their service. Hopefully Alaskan does come back to Edmonton. I don't want to have to take a plane to Calgary to hop on a Westjet plane to Seattle. And then write my annual letter to Westjet asking for more direct flights to the U.S. (including Seattle if need be) and Europe for Edmonton and then have westjet respond months later to basically (not literally) tell me that I'm blowing smoke out of my arse.
