Sorry not sure why. But considering AC originally had a flight to fly 804 MCI-YYZ planned for yesterday and cancelled it several days earlier, I doubt a stop/check of this length was planned for MCI.
For ZRH, it can nearly be operated by the existing 3 787s. The only issue would be a 10 minute turn time to get it out to HND after arrival from ZRH Oct 3, but with approx. 1hr delay to HND it can be done. It has a lengthy layover in HND where they could easily absorb the delay without a domino effect.
If the check ends as scheduled, fin 804 could get to YYZ to operate AC5 ontime Oct 3.
