Noticed this item listed in the current issue of Navi magazine, pg 9 "Air Canada Fleet"

So, do we need a new thread for the new name?

BTW I wonder how many Y seats they'll pack. Delta apparently crams (only?) 107 seats in theirs.
And we'll have to wait for another year. I imagine we'll end up with these on routes like YYC-YOW. Perhaps even an occasional YYC-YUL?

Delta has the smaller of the A220 (-100). I would expect AC's -300 to have more seats by default. How many more would be interesting.

YXE-YYZ is very likely.

Is it wishful thinking to hope we see these on some of the really long RJ routes: YUL-DEN, YYC-IAH, etc?

YYJ-YYZ, YQR-YYZ, SEA-YYZ, YUL-YWG, YVR/YYC-YHZ, YYC/YEG-YYT. YLW-YYZ, YYC-LAX. YVR/YYZ-ANC in the summer. Could show up on ex-YYZ Caribbean flights that are a bit too much for the Rouge A319, such as YUL/YYZ-POS. YOW-YYC/YEG/YVR. LGA and ORD, of course. They'll be everywhere eventually.

Shouln't it be with no E90s left? As to YWG, why mainly AB? Again my guess is, because the E90s are quickly disappearing, down to 19. I would think the CSeries would make sense for many YWG routes?

So in between the 319 (120) and the A320 (146). Mving from E90, A319 and A320 to A223 and 7M8. Both somewhat larger. Consistent with moving further away from Montie Brewer's failed strategy.
Apart from the E90 leaving the fleet, we might see more A319s moving to Rouge?

I wonder how the IATA aircraft codes work. I thought for sure the A220-300 would be "CS3" forever and not "223" much like the Q400s were "DH4s" long after the demise of de Havilliand. Based on this I figured once an aircraft type was registered that was it, regardless of whether or not it was acquired. Guess that's not true and it really is just another Airbus.

Of course. From 107 to 130. But knowing their recent philosophy, AC might find a way to cram more Y seats?
