So, if Canada Jetlines runs to YKF, there's no guarantee WestJet or even Air Canada won't just set up shop here afterwards to drive them out.
Of course, that would be good for us, too (at least in the short term).
If Air Canada's and Westjet's predatory competitive practices (as, I believe, some might describe them) brought them to YKF, I would be OK with that (even if prices subsequently went up). It just seems to me that the risk is higher at YHM, given the increasing number of flights from that airport.
