June 14, 201213 yr I had some experience with an operation that tried to get into the sked gig in YQL a good 6-7 years ago. We operated the smaller -8's, and still found the load factors discouraging. Despite some good support from the municipality people still just did not bother to jump on. The savings in just flying out of YYC was too tempting. It is a perfect market though for a 19-seat aircraft though, as Georgain/Air Canada do today. 13-19 seats was the usual load in our case. AC's predatory pricing basically shoved us out of the market too, as we didn't have the pockets deep enough to constistently lose money on routes, nor was our network strong enough to subsidise poor performing routes with better ones. Of course West-Prop or whatever will have both ;). But if West-prop expects to see the same factors, costs-per-seat-mile, and margin's they are getting with their 37 operation then they arn't gonna be happy. Things will be tight for sure. I filled in for a few time with a 1900 when I used to work at NCA. If it was the Regional 1 operation you were talking about. The loads were quite good on that. We went from yql-ylw-yvr.

June 14, 201213 yr Yep that was the one Jack. If we wern't payin up the nose for your charters we would have made good money with that 1900 . Ha ha. Patrick Houghton
