That said I think 150 is a low estimate unless many of those flights are embrarer or dash8 planes. Even small 737s seat more and the larger variants can seat around 200.

Embraers and Q400s, lots of A220-300s, a few A319s, some 737-8s, and I saw one A321 and one A330. I would guess an average seat count of somewhere close to 150.

Fair enough, to me it’s kinda crazy to be flying such small aircraft on such a high demand route. But I’m not an airline CEO so they must have a good reason.  But this is why the claims of Pearson being full seem so silly. You could create 18 new runway slots simply by flying larger aircraft on two destinations.
