Loro dicono:
- “manage and recover its network in response to capacity constraints impacting the aviation ecosystem.”
- “compounding factors such as staffing levels across the industry,”
- “evaluate the return of transatlantic service in 2024.”

Tradotto, molto probabilmente, tutto questo significa poco personale/mi focalizzo dove più mi conviene.

Allo stesso momento, WestJet e l'unione dei piloti provano a concludere un contratto nuovo.
Inoltre, WestJet si concentra sempre più sul west, mentre Air Canada si focalizza ad est (a parte YVR).

EDIT:
Westjet annuncia oggi (13 febbraio 2023) una espansione da ovest Canada verso USA.

Nella release sopra c'è un link a una pagina del sito dove si parla di cambiamenti:

Tra gli altri:
- "Growth as a low-cost carrier" - quindi diverso dal prodotto 787.
- "Shifting resources to significantly grow its presence and network in the West"
- "Investing further in leisure and sun flying"
- "the airline will centre its existing widebody 787 Dreamliner fleet around Western Canada"
- "pause further investment into incremental Dreamliners to focus instead on additional narrowbody growth"
