How much outsized though? I'd rather have cargo helping to keep PEK and NRT viable and maybe encourage PVG?

We only see Korean and others like Atlas though because of the live horse transport to Japan. Apparently cargo demand to/from Asia is down a lot, so don't look to see anyone else come in to fill the Cathay gap. With AC to NRT and Hainan to PEK there is probably some decent underbelly cargo space right now from YYC to Asia.
Apparently AC is showing no YYC-NRT for the winter season, so who knows exactly what may happen with that route in the near future.

Interesting news about AC dropping NRT route in the winter. I wonder if WS is going to go after any of those Asian routes when they get their 789's?

I'll have to take my son up there one day to check it out.
Speaking of Frontier, they are now going to be doing Calgary to Las Vegas

That's good news, for bad news British Airways appears to have suspended LHR-YYC from late October to March. Not even 100% if it will return after that.
That sucks. I love seeing that Dreamliner coming and going routinely.
Yeah, I'm happy to see Frontier adding more destinations. While I like Westjet, being a local company and all, I sometimes worry that YYC will end up being like ATL, where it's almost all Delta flights, and not many other carriers.
