I'm hoping WJA formally removes the Max8 from it's spring schedule soon so we can get some certainty for booking. Anyone have a sense as to when this might be? The did this in September for the December schedule.
For OGG flights - note that AC's YVR flight is a 762 operated by OmniAir.

Sounds like the FAA might sign off on the modifications relatively soon which is the first step in getting them back in the sky. Depending on how Transport Canada plays it there's a chance they could return to the fleet before spring which is what WestJet may be waiting to see.
