Good post V. I do, however, think the Canadians are very clued in to US flying. I'd like to hear comments from some of the guys flying into ATL on a regular basis (we don't seem to hear from them often on this forum). While the ATL airport is much better than JFK from an operations standpoint (rwy layout, approaches, etc), it also has higher traffic volume. In addtion, the summer weather can create quite a $hitstorm in short order in light of that traffic volume.
PS - JFK-YVR also crosses what is known as the American midwest - the northern states such as Michigan, Minnesota, etc.
