If I was guessing, I'd say Wicca Wicca.  Or Foxy Moron.

Not Dirty Mitts Mama?

 

Too on-the-nose.

[Mike K.]

What does that mean?

[Victoria Watcher]

What does that mean?

 

https://english.stac... as unrealistic.

 

In the acting/script/play/film world, "too on the nose" is a pretty common phrase which means lacking in sub-text, too obvious, having neither subtlety nor sophistication. In life, people can't usually say what they mean for one reason or another; when they do in film or theater it comes across as unrealistic.

Ok.

Proof Read Dread, then? 🤷‍♀️

We’re dealing with an avalanche of hipster name-generated band names here. Give a guy a break.

Lynx shifting East ward this summer. Only adding 3 aircraft in 2023, unsure is just leased or not.

Lynx shifting East ward 

I thought that was the name of another performer.

[Matt R.]

Yes, all true. I used to go yearly to that area for the hot springs, etc. I haven't been back in a few years (who hasn't given up their regular travel over the last couple of years?) 

My wife is from the east shore of the lake. Before this opportunity popped up we were looking to move out there. My favourite place.

I think that got shelved?, and it would be only on their 11 seat Cessna caravan which isn't adding much capacity at all and limited luggage wgt too.

Using Boeing field for connecting SEA pax is a hassle, even if customs maybe quick, a cab ride runs close to 40-50 USD for the 25-30 min cab ride depending on traffic. 

 

Maybe for the weekend get a ways, for local stays, but harbor to harbor for a weekend in Seattle, with many hotel and shopping deals 

 

I received confirmation today from Kenmore in a marketing email that plans are still underway for their YYJ to Seattle Boeing Field flight.

 

 

 

Coming soon, look for new Kenmore Air connections between Victoria and Everett’s Paine Field as well as Seattle’s Boeing Field. Stay tuned for the official announcement.

Interesting, I'd be very shocked if they end up using the main terminal. The costs associated with operating a trans border route for a cessna caravan wouldn't make sense. Most likely using the Shell aero center.

Kelowna must be doing something right, for this much glad handing and kissing.

 

Key word, YLW gets *year round......... YYJ gets *seasonal ..... and capacity reduction, 737 -> Q400's

As in, via Victoria International to those Seattle airports?

Yes, YYJ to BFI.

I would say this has more to do with location than anything else.

YLW gets some feed from places further west (like YYJ).

But no one is going to connect through YYJ to get to SK or MB. It would be totally reliant on point-to-point traffic.

Kelowna also has ski demand in the winter, so from that perspective seeing it year round makes some sense as well.

[Mike K.]

We can’t even get other airports to feed into flights to Hawaii, and we’re a natural stopover for such a service, so I don’t think it’s all geography.

We could also play a much greater role for the rest of the Island. Transiting through YVR is not exactly fun, I’d much rather hop on a Dash 8 and fly from Campbell River to YYJ, then on to Toronto.

There needs to be enough point to point demand for a flight to be considered, it can't rely entirely on connecting traffic. No way would a Dash 8 from Campbell River to Victoria break even. There isn't even a Dash 8 from Campbell River to Vancouver.

[Mike K.]

That’s true, but there are multiple Dash 8 flights to Vancouver from Comox, plus the smaller Coastal flights from Campbell River, and multiple flights from Nanaimo.

[vortoozo]

Sure, but those make sense considering how many destinations are accessible from Vancouver. And even then, it's only 3x daily Dash 8 flights from Comox. Diverting some of that traffic to YYJ wouldn't make sense given the connection options from here.

There's no need to duplicate the YVR hub in YYJ and spread out resources.
