Connections to two MAJOR US hubs is most definitely a 'major issue'.

YEG is doing very well for Summer 2022. Significantly more than previous years. That is why I do not think that one route being delayed is a "big deal".
Here is a quick and dirty analysis I put together for Summer 2022 YEG US Air Service:
Notes:
Flair has started many of these services earlier in the year than Swoop, but Swoop offers more peak summer capacity on some routes. The above analysis is a snapshot based on the week of June 6 2022.
Air Canada is returning to YEG-SFO effective April. This is significant for YEG.
Further additions and changes likely given that we are only in February. Apologies if I missed anything.

From SSP:
| Calfan12 Also Edmonton’s KLM flights won’t be consolidated with Calgary YYC anymore as of March 27 2022. That means Edmonton YEG passengers will be key to fill the A330 on KLM 3x weekly nonstops Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays for YEG- Amsterdam flights this Summer for it to be successful/has demand.

Sounds like a lot of anti-Edmonton spin happening over there, as Edmonton is and continues to be a hub facility for northern Alberta, so this is not relying solely on Edmonton passengers.
I am happy to see the flight increases though, great work to YEG for sustaining this critical link through the darkest days...

That Calfan12 is very anti-YEG so take what they say with a grain of salt.

The WestJet Group marks successful integration of ultra-low-cost airline Swoop
With the integration now complete, WestJet will leverage the successes and learnings from five years of operating Canada’s first ULCC across its growing airline to enhance its ability to serve a broader spectrum of guests.

At least Edmonton passengers will have more non-stop flight options to the Maritimes. It's a pain to have to transfer in Toronto.

Bingo.
Planning a Halifax and area trip this spring/summer because of the convenience and low fares.

At the prices we are seeing, you could probably do a different city every other weekend this summer. Unreal deals at the moment.

Cabo, PS, or SD likely in the books as well for some R&R.
It's a flyer's market.

Los Cabos is seasonal and last flight is 30 April. Swoop previously prior to covid showed year round once weekly to CUN, PVR and Los Cabos but are not at this time.
