I was thinking about this last night, but perhaps there is some decency here by AC. Air Canada only pulled three weeks worth of MAX flights out of the inventory, so the capacity is still there more than three weeks out along with decent airfares. If AC cancels the inventory week by week as the situation unfolds, they won't really be gouging the consumers. If anyone has travel plans in the short term inside that three week window, yes, it does suck, but such is life.
