Wonder what that says about Hawaii. Year round to Europe will take up 1.5 aircraft so call it two. With only four in the fleet that leaves two for Hawaii in the winter. I guess that probably works out but it's interesting nonetheless. Makes me wonder if the low $CDN is taking a toll on U.S routes and Hawaii in particular. It also leaves practically no chance to run the 767's anywhere else in the winter so longer reach sun destinations (Dominican Republic from western Canada, Panama etc.) now seem unlikely as potential expansaion possibilities for Westjet now.
