Possible Delay at CDG
I'm scheduled to fly CDG-YUL on AC871 today (10 hours from now). Flight is announced on time, and AC870 is on the air and on time.
But, I see that AC880 is delayed by three hours. As AC881 is set to depart two hours before AC871, will AC switch planes and thus delay AC871 instead of AC881?

At the moment 880 will be the plane operating 871. Doesn't appear to be any reason to change. As you are aware 880 is still on the ground. Despite AC's optomism, I would expect a minimum 30 minute delay. Once 880 is airborne, I would plan your departure time to be 90 minutes after arrival.

880 is grounded due to a water leak.. Last ETD is 2320EDT ETA 1255L...
Could be pushed past 2300 if they can't get it fixed..
AC871 going to take a 5 min delay, and should be in YUL 15 mins early depending on weather/winds.
