Parked Planes at YAM
Any idea why there are 6 Encore Q's on the ramp at YAM? 2 looked to have arrived fairly recently, but 4 are as sealed up as tomato cans... looks long term.

They can't fly 48 tails with 390 pilots, possibly less by today.

Maybe they are getting heavy checks done there? If they’re being parked it’s a way cheaper place to leave them compared to Toronto or Calgary.

- Qualified Canadian pilot shortage.
- Closure of YYZ Encore base.
- Limited training capacity.
- Potential shrinkage.

YAM does have an MRO facility, however, 6 planes at one time seems to be more likely storage.

The airline will maintain its current premium offerings, with a focus on strengthening its premium leisure segment and corporate premium in the West. The focus of WestJet’s regional fleet of De Haviland Q400 aircraft will be shifted and rightsized to focus on Western Canada, removing complexity from operations, and prioritizing the airline’s commitment to enhance Western Canada’s connectivity.
