Rather strangely, despite the Rouge series itself being relatively short, the last couple of weeks were operated as mainline flights by mainline aircraft. That would make you think that they were stretched across Air Canada/Rouge for the period, which would explain why getting a rescue aircraft was an issue. However I did see reported elsewhere that a rescue aircraft was dispatched eventually, but that never made it due to diverting with a technical issue
