The announcement came down at a fairly favourable time for WestJet today, after everything had already headed south. Tomorrow will be a headache, however.
I looked at the WestJet website today and the plane for my flight has changed from a MAX 8 to a 737-700. The price also increased from $280 to $1180, so I'm thinking that they switched to a smaller plane and there are at least a few seats available.

Hopefully it all works out!
