Today's Wall Street Journal says Air Canada wants to target "secondary US markets" to feed international flights, particularly transpacific flights, through Toronto (YYZ). The article cites Boston, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh specifically.

I wonder if this means an upgrade of Jazz DH1 aircraft for PIT and CLE or just an advertising push. Their Pacific flights in and out of YYZ aren't closely banked; so if it's an aircraft upgrade, it might have to be the whole schedule.

How happy will this make their Star partner in Chicago?
