True. AC has: 1.5 CRJs on an Ottawa-Boston Routing and 1.5 CRJs on an Ottawa-La Guardia Routing But you due the the nature of code/rev shares, you could consider the following as hub feeds: 1 CRJ on a Winnipeg-O'Hare Routing (replaced a DC9, my last ACDC9 routing) 2 CRJs on an Ottawa-O'Hare Routing 1.5 CRJs on an Ottawa-Dulles Routing ...so either 3 or 7.5 CRJs out of a fleet of 35 (or 37 now?) are not feeding hubs. Not a wholesale venture, nor has it been a strong strategic direction for AC. I think the author was 'filling white space' as it's unlikely they were referring to a few odd AC routings. And of course, the 2 odd Ottawa routes are suspect to be politically influenced. ;-) (And AC/AC Jazz has a few remaining 142s in Halifax that head out to Deer Lake/Gander/Boston/Ottawa/St. John's. The remaining 142s are in Toronto/Vancouver/Montreal.) (Outside of the single CRJ in Winnipeg, AC does not have any CRJs west of Ontario.)
