Weather can be nasty and unpredictable. It can't serve Pacific routes for numerous reasons. Rural BC, which is far more airplane-locked than flat Alberta needs more connections, but YYC is a little too far to serve locales such as Williams Lake, Quesnel, and Sandspit. This is why Vancouver gets the nod. >> Um, I agree with the O&D thing, but according to most on this list, DAY is a perfect hub, so what do we know?
