I don't get all of the concern over this; it's a new option and very considerate at that.

Worry more about better food options and more flight options folks.

It’s just Trevor Hayden and MacLac being bums. Safe to say we can ignore them.

Concern over what? Safe rooms or the argument that early flights are “ok?”

If AC's flight attendants go on strike this weekend and AC cancels flights as a result, what are our viable options besides WJ and Flair? I'm thinking about non-stop flights between YEG and YYZ.

Porter would be the only other option besides from WS and F8. A quality option at that.

 

[Markyeg]

Porter has already turned off/disabled all refundable fares when booking for the near future. Don’t blame them though, they probably learned from last year when lots of people booked refundable fares during the (almost) pilots strike and they ended up flying half empty planes across the country when the strike didn’t happen and people requested refunds.

Air Canada is scrambling to move people and equipment ahead of a possible work stoppage. I'm on AC 238 from YVR to YEG today and it's been upgraded from an A320 to a 787 (score!)

On route 747 from YEG this afternoon:

Departed the terminal at 1606
- every seat is full; nine people are standing

Arrived at the mall at 1611.
- four people disembarked

Departed the mall at 1616 After making two stops
- every seat is full; 23 people are standing

747 needs to be every 15 minutes

Thanks for sharing and documenting.

That's an extra 10 minutes of bus stops and traffic lights before even making any progress to get going downtown after a flight. I've taken the 747 several times though - i just hate that detour.

I think one idea for the 747 is dropping the riders off in departures, wheel over to POC, then back to arrivals and onto Edmonton.

I have not seen that level of congestion since the schedule change. It could have a result of the congestion at the Black Mud creek construction on the highway. I know the bus I was on the other day got caught up in it because he wasn’t being assertive enough. The following bus took a diversion and actually got ahead of us on the highway so there would have been a significant delay in service at the airport.

So you would like to spend an extra half an hour waiting for a bus just so you don’t waste 10 minutes on the detour? Doesn’t make sense to me but whatever.
