I get what you're saying but WestJest hasn't reduced its service. It's 100% gone.

Granted the seasonal route to Toronto will likely be back next summer, I'm curious if it will return next summer and if so, will it be the 6ish weeks from previous years or the 3-4 months like pre-Encore?

Air Canada has reduced its service here too. The, once upon a time, 5 daily flights to Halifax has been reduced to 0. Although there is now a direct YYZ flight and YUL flight. Unfortunately the YYZ flight leaves at 5am, the YUL flight at 5pm. Meaning connections suck both ways. You're either up at 2-3am to travel, or arriving at your hotel/place of stay in the evening. Or, drive 4+ hours to Halifax for better flight options, but that drive back after a day of travel sucks pretty hard.
