The impact of Boeing 737 Max jets being grounded is likely to last a while yet as one airline is telling its pilots it expects the disruption to last into April at least. Transport Canada grounded all 737 Max jets from Canadian airspace on Wednesday, which threw a wrench into the travel plans for thousands of Canadians, and made a big dent in the route network at Canada's two biggest carriers. Air Canada and WestJet collectively own dozens of the jets that they can't currently use to fly their paying customers around. Samantha Calderbank from Orono, Ont., is on standby, waiting to get on a flight to Toronto after a week-long vacation with friends in Hawaii. "But, I'm seeing others from Toronto getting cancelled, some from Calgary are getting cancelled."
