In addition I noticed they're rotating the 788 out/in through YUL on February 27, March 1 and March 6 as well.
AC490 YOW 1555 1650 YUL 788 (22FEB, 27FEB, 01MAR, 06MAR)
AC491 YUL 1930 2022 YOW 788 (27FEB, 01MAR, 06MAR)
The other interesting tidbit about the Rouge MAXes is they will keep the IFE screens installed. So the entire AC fleet will have IFE, save for the Express fleet (which ironically, for the CRJs and ERJs anyways, had it up until about a year ago when they disabled the legacy systems). It has also been rumoured that the Lynx 7M8s will be leaving the fleet by early next year. Unfortunately, it seems they'll stick around long enough to finish the season for YOW sun flying.
I wonder if AC will go with the Rouge 7M8s on YOW's sun program next year, or use a 320 or even a 223, depending how much they want to play ball with Porter. I doubt AC will touch LIR or GCM, but PVR could be a destination they want to compete on given that PD is able to run it 6x weekly. Who knows how many YYZ/YUL connectors they had on it that PD has taken. Going with a 223 would allow them to be more competitive on frequencies with PD - 137 seats on the 223 vs 132 on Porter's E2.
