If I were travelling directly on AC (which we're not because it was twice the price of WJ) then I would clearly know by now that we'd be getting re-routed via YYZ/YUL. With WJ, I can but guess at present.
Generally it feels like AC is more out in front of comms on this subject than WJ but I accept that they might have more to mitigate.
In May and June depending on the day (which will determine the original seat requirements) 737-700 and 737-800s have been substituted for the MAX 8 on YHZ-LGW-YHZ, I’m sure this will continue until the MAX 8s are back on the route, WestJet won’t need to send any change notification unless someone has booked a specific seat in the back few rows in a MAX and a -700 is the substitute on a specific day.
