Cabin Layout
Interior Specs can be found here https://www.aircanada.com/ca/en/aco/home/fly/onboard/fleet.html
- Window seats may feel narrower to come as the armrests are placed "into" the "curvature" of the cabin.
- Seats with no windows feel even more narrower as there is no space created by the curvature of window.
- All bulkhead seats have very limited legroom.
- Seats 15A, 16A, 16F, 17A and 17F have limited windows.
- Exit rows 19 and 20 have more legroom than regular preferred seats.
Routes
The 737 MAX is designated to replace the A320-series. Based on announcements and schedule updates, the following specific routes will be operated by the 737 MAX in future:
YYZ-LAX (periodic flights)
YYZ-SNN (new route)
YUL-DUB (new route)
YYZ/YUL-KEF (replacing Rouge A319)
YYT-LHR (replacing Mainline A319)
YHZ-LHR (replacing Mainline B767)
Hawaii Routes YVR/YYC (replacing Rouge B767)
Many domestic trunk routes (YYZ, YVR, YUL, YYC) now operated by 7M8, replacing A320 family

......But take a look at AS's 737-900s -- they fit it with the new Boring Sky Interior design (so no ugly 1950-era overhead panels like what UAdbaCO has on their 737s). Plus AS 739s use the new Boring Space Bin design for the overhead -- and those can fit moar rollaboards than conventional design
It would be a huge win on the customer experience if AC did the same
But I doubt AC will spend that extra money ... I mean if all they can afford for food is pickles in the MLL ....

I've already agreed with you on the AS 739 experiences I had on flights a few months back, including the ANC-LAX red-eye.
I really liked the new cabin. At least the seats AS chose were extremely comfortable and I was in Y. I noticed everyone put almost everything up in the bins as there was plenty of space.
I've also flew a number of 738s on AA. The new ones were great flying experiences.
But to maradori's point, it's really a matter of what AC decides to spend or not spend on the interior that will determine the passenger experience.

Not surprising since Germany was a major backer of Airbus Industries and LH an instrument in ensuring a launch airline for most of its offerings. The country is also the location of several major sub-component plants, the major aircraft finishing centre for Airbus, and a host of suppliers. That's why LH phased out its 737s and is doing the same with 744s, though did take the 748 soon to be its only Boeing aircraft.

CP was indeed a "great airline" and provided a very classy service on their DC10s both with First Class and Royal Canadian Class. Flew both many, many times to Australia and New Zealand during the 1980s. AC also provided a fine First Class service on its L1011s before it downgraded the front cabin to Executive Class.

There are quite a few UA B737s with the "BORING" Sky Interior. Not all of them are ugly 1950s era overheads.... Perhaps we should have official fact checkers like during the US election.

I guess this is the time that I admit I "MAY" becoming a UA apologist like so many are AC apologists.

Although I don't have any official info which Eewnited 737s have and do not have boring sky interiors, the closest thing I found is https://sites.google.com/site/united...fleet-tracking
When clicking on the "39" tab, I concur with your statement that "not all of them" are ugly 1950s era overheads. However, the spreadsheet also shows that quite a few of them 1. have only sky interiors without space bins, 2. have neither. The numbers are even more abysmal when you click the "38" and "3G" tab and only a handful or two of them (assuming you have some REALLY big hands) have the sky interior
....
All that being said, my original point still remains. For non-6ft4 flyers like myself, whether the airframe is A32x or is B73x doesn't matter as much as the inside of the aircraft.
I kind of like the new A321 interiors (when flying SFO-PHL on US A321, it was always a coin toss whether you got an old or new interior), but man, those Boring Space Bins are a total game changer for us who fly in the back
Hopefully AC gets space bins .....

Personally I like the sound, it's really easy to tell (by the sound pitch) that the engines are working properly and at the appropriate power setting. ^
2. A32x has that APU dog-bark sound
3. IMO, 737 sounds like it works the engines harder during the takeoff roll
Anyone who has had a close-up view of its wing knows there are some stretches built-in to it.
I have flown in a CRJ1000 a couple of times, back of the plane is fun to watch the flex of the airframe during turbulence.

Will AC not include setback screens on the 737MAX?
AA recently announced that their 737MAX fleet would not have built-in IFE, instead improving in-flight wifi so pax can watch content on their own devices. Does anyone know if AC will do the same, especially given that they do this on Rouge?
