If AC does end up buying TS, I don’t think there will be a liquidity issue for the airline. You will be fine :wink:

Re: When do you think the 737 MAX will return to operation at Air Canada?

It takes 2-4 months to train a pilot on a new type. We are 5 months away from January. I don’t see a reduction to be honest.
