That's a good point Qball - I'd forgotten about UAL and WAL's 3 man guppy crews. Lufthansa was the launch customer, and I don't recall if they were 3 man also. Delta launched the DC-9 as a 2 man A/C - much to the consternation of ALPA at the time...

I don't think anyone has a delivery date for the first ship yet, so a date for the first revenue flight is a ways off.

Requiring a third pilot on the DC-9 jump seat was vetoed as cruel and unusual punishment.

We got an email this week stating a bid would be out the first week of March with the first CSeries vacancies. The company said it would need 5 months to get the catagory “stood up” from the first bid to first revenue flight. So I’m guessing, based on my powers of deduction, that the first revenue flight will occur in late July, or more likely, the first week or two in August.
