Any service is better, but I have to wonder if it would really make sense to do it. It takes ~15 minutes to drive to the airport from downtown, and then you'd want to be at the airport a minimum of 20-30 minutes before your flight. So that's 45 minutes right there... if you were driving, you'd already be in Mississauga. So overall, best-case you might save 15 minutes of travel time but door-to-door is still over an hour (especially with the "Fun Ferry" at YTZ).
I think it would be neat for Porter to use YKF as a second hub or something, though - as in, have YKF-Ottawa, -Montreal, etc...
Those Q400's are loud though. Like ridiculously loud. I can't believe they were denied flying jets out of YTZ; really annoyed at that, they should have imposed a decibel limit, not a technology limit. The noise from the Q400's is just awful. Stand anywhere along Queens Quay (or Hanlan's) and they'll take your head right off.
