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

I think your figure is high by a long shot, but regardless, you're looking at it from the perspective of what's convenient for the airline. I don't think DL, UA or AA would introduce a new aircraft, let alone a new type, without having WiFi installed or operational because customers expect to have WiFi.
Apparently at AC, convenience for AC outweighs serving the customer.

Look what just pulled in at YUL...
Gate 1 has some bunting and gifts for the first passengers out of YUL. I am flying this new metal tomorrow to YVR in J and will share comments after that flight!

GoGo Wi-Fi is not a line-fit option for the 737Max, so it can only be installed by a STC holder after the airframe comes off the assembly line.

The 737 Max has the same metal tube as the 737NG, so no change in cabin pressure or humidity levels. The Max is a minor upgrade airframe and cabin wise. The main physical upgrdes are motors, minor wing changes to support a larger MLG, new AT winglets and upgrdes to the glass cockpit from CRT to LCD, aside from that, it's essentially the same decades old design.

Air Canada’s first Boeing 737 MAX 8 (C-FTJV ) received its Canadian registration on Oct. 31, and was then delivered to Kelowna Airport, B.C., for pre-delivery modifications. Wi-Fi installation will also take place in Kelowna.
If I go to the website of the contractor, I don't see any mention of WiFi capabilities. What gives? (Not doubting KFA's capabilities either.)

Just like everyone here considers the MAX line of 737's to be new and different the certification authority considers it a completely new airplane.
Westjet had a couple of airframes grounded in the Southeastern US while the certification people fumbled and farted around because the wifi had never been done on a Canadian airplane before.

Here is a close up of the J seats. Fabric back with a leather seat by the looks of it.

I was on thick, comfy AC business seats yesterday when I noticed a photo like yours of the AC737max. I can't help thinking there might not much to differentiate the 737max J vs Y seats, besides the double armrest
In the back, AC 737max Y cabin pitch of 30in vs Southwest's 737max of 32in pitch...ouch.

According to an AC ad on FlyerTalk, we've misspelled the name of the manufacturer of the 737 MAX. Perhaps we should ask a mod to correct the typo in the title of the thread (and everywhere on FT!)?
Good job AC marketing team!

Like the photo above, saw this at gate 1 on Wednesday. I personally am a fan of the new livery over the toothpaste, but not looking forward to traveling in Y on this bird, if the time comes. No better than the 767 Rouge in back. Except more middle seats.
