Interestingly, the press release says "45 Boeing 737 MAX are expected to transition to Rouge by the end of 2026" while the Q4 MD&A says 52. So either some signals got crossed, or there has been another change of plans for the ex-Lynx 737s.

Also this morning, FIN 502 C-FSCY has ferried YVR-YLW, presumably for Rougification
The 7 ex-Lynx aircraft will stay as-is for "3-4 years" now: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/37580449-post2335.html

Interested to see how quickly FIN 502 gets done - two weeks from today they will need a second frame as a daily YVR-CUN turn are set to get Rouged.

One segment in and FIN 501 is now delayed for two hours at YEG for a maintenance issue.
