Did the AS 737s have the range to fly from Toronto to the West Coast of the US at that time without any issues? MD80s with aux tanks. AS had three of them. Before AS cancelled that route they were offering a Maple Leaf gold coin to passengers. I assume that was to convince those on expense accounts...

I admit I never expected FLO to be up over 26% in 2022 over 2021. CHS up over 26% isn't a surprise, that place is busy!
It did, but was cancelled after the Saabs left. And AA is down to 2 flights, the market is barely there. I would be happy if DL returned, but that's ship's sailed. FLO likely has some leakage to MYR with MYR being served by DL, UA, WN, G4, XP, F9, NK, and SY in addition to AA. If AA adds FLO-DFW no...
