YYZ - YQY has also been roughed.
Rogue now lists Canadian destinations on its website. No doubt that list of routes will only grow as Calin and his Yes Boys recognize increased potential to grow their own bonuses by continuing to charge premium fares for their substandard product.

The short answer is no shrink to seat pitch for the conversion to max 7.5 from max7.
The max 7.5 is gaining 12 seats by adding the equivalent 2 row economy length from the comparable max7. Additionally, there will be four over wing exits on max 7.5 rather than 2 overwing exits as on the max 7 and current 700 variant.
Competition from the CS300 is the reason for Boeing to develop the max7.5. Comparing CS300 CASM to max7, the CS300 is easily lower cost, however with the addition of 12 seats, the max7.5 cost profile is comparable (there is still a minor cost efficiency for the CS300), plus the only way to realize the cost efficiency is for all max 7.5 flights to be completely sold, otherwise the CSM (Cost per Seat Mile) favours the CS300.
Apologies for the delayed answer.
