Cabin Layout
Interior Specs can be found here https://www.aircanada.com/ca/en/aco/home/fly/onboard/fleet.html
- Window seats may feel narrower to come as the armrests are placed "into" the "curvature" of the cabin.
- Seats with no windows feel even more narrower as there is no space created by the curvature of window.
- All bulkhead seats have very limited legroom.
- Seats 15A, 16A, 16F, 17A and 17F have limited windows.
- Exit rows 19 and 20 have more legroom than regular preferred seats.
Routes
The 737 MAX is designated to replace the A320-series. Based on announcements and schedule updates, the following specific routes will be operated by the 737 MAX in future:
YYZ-LAX (periodic flights)
YYZ-SNN (new route)
YUL-DUB (new route)
YYZ/YUL-KEF (replacing Rouge A319)
YYT-LHR (replacing Mainline A319)
YHZ-LHR (replacing Mainline B767)
Hawaii Routes YVR/YYC (replacing Rouge B767)
Many domestic trunk routes (YYZ, YVR, YUL, YYC) now operated by 7M8, replacing A320 family

The narrow seat is the big differentiator, especially on transcon longhaul.

This, no doubt, is precisely how AC will lay out their new 737s. Hello 28" seat pitch.

Understandable ... I flew on one of AA's new 319's in late October just to see, and it was very disappointing indeed. Beautiful new airplane that was unfortunately overstuffed with those horrible plastic-backed Spine Maimer seats. The good news is you now have a nice clear IFE screen in the seat back ... the bad news is you're only sitting about 10 inches away from it. I'm 6'0" and my kneecaps were rubbing the back of the seat ahead of me the entire way from DFW to YYZ. It was horrible.

In moving to 737s I'll have no incentive to fly AC domestically. The choice to fly AC over WS typically for me came down to 18" wide seats on A320s versus the 17" seats on B737.
While I might be disappointed, it's a totally understandable choice by AC given that they likely got a deal that was too good to pass on.

I've never been a fan of airbus, but I can't argue that they are wider and the seats can be correspondingly wider for 6 across. However, pitch is another matter. I've been on new LH and SK airbus aircraft and the seats are skeletal, with minimal padding, no IFE and short pitch. Notwithstanding the constraint caused by the width, the seats and pitch is the choice of the airline. If AC has shown us its true colours in the 77H, then irrespective of whether they chose boeing or airbus, the pitch will be short.
