Tough to compete against AC's 767's direct to Hawaii from YYC when you need to minimise middle seat sales to maximise range and depending on the winds across you might still need to drop into a west coast airport for fuel . Unless you change the Westjet model as a "LCC" they needed to wet lease the 757's to keep the route viable. It was good to see AC go back to YYC and do the Hawaii legs direct. Good for competition and customers.
