Yeah, interesting.
I just noticed that the two YYZ-YVR flights right after mine on July 4 are also zeroed out. But mine isn't and still has a bunch of seats (and even R space) still available. So, it's certainly very selective.

I have a trip to Washington DC booked on July 15 but after stumbling on this forum, I decided to check Air Canada's website and all direct flights from YYZ to any DC airport (DCA, BWI, IAD) have disappeared! My booking hasn't been cancelled but now I'm really worried that both of my flights are going to get cancelled. Am I over reacting?

I get a flight schedule change notice when I go to my bookings, but when I review my new flights there is no change. This is a booking on an international flight connecting to one of the zeroed out YYZ-YWG flights.
The changes take effect July 1st, so they have to sort things out in the next day or two.

We're flying from CVG to YYZ on July 30th and the app is telling us to review a flight change. The system, however, doesn't show us what the issue is, nor does it allow me to make a change. I did a bit of testing and from what I can see there are no direct flights from CVG to YYZ after July 1st.

I'd give AC a few days and see what happens. They seem to have implemented the first half of a major schedule change, but they haven't implemented the second half yet.

Now, the 1hr33m direct flights are showing again for all of July. But when I go to view the booking, I get an error page with this message: "We are temporarily unable to process your request. Please try again later. (err-7)." As you've said, maybe this will be sorted in a few days. I'm actually hoping for a cancelled flight, as we have a 19hr layover in Toronto that I'd love to lesson.

According to their published schedule that is effective June 30, my flights should still be happening. I looked at some other flights that a few of you have posted and they also appear in this schedule. I can't post the link to the PDF because I'm too new of a user but you can find it by just googling "Air Canada Flight Schedule" and downloading the PDF.
Something very weird is up. I can't imagine Air Canada would decide to take a large chunk of flights off their schedule so suddenly.

I’d argue it’s one of the few things they can do right now to stop their operations from collapsing. Some might argue that hiring is the answer (which agree it is) but the effects of that would only be felt post summer.

Maybe the zeroed out flights are still operating, but not for sale to allow for misconnect recovery?

a) No. But something's going on. They're not just suddenly stopping sales for no reason. Could be a downgauge, a consolidation, a cancellation, or anything else.
b) Yes. I'm one of them. Friday July 1 has 377 people booked between 743+745.
There won't be a notification until something actually happens (until then, there's nothing to notify).
I'm trying to book a return for the outbound, and I don't want to route through any connecting city, so with the two late non-stops zeroed out, I can't do anything.

Hope they come back in time for you to book.
Perhaps they can switch to larger wide body than A330 as-necessary, consolidating the evening narrow + wide into a single wide body flight? I guess that would need to be 77W though, not sure if they'd have one.
