If they go back to SFO, maybe they can be extended into Canada somewhere, isn't the new board member Canadian?
Make sense if it was to the East though and not just up to YVR as Canadian are doing the non stop from YVR to SYD which is better than a YVR-SFO-Oz service.
How are the loads on the SYD-YVR service during the ski season? Maybe they could keep that service going?
