A319 and A320 fleet to be reconfigured, AVOD for A319s

According to a post at A.net (with information from FltOps), Delta will be reconfiguring the A319 and A320 fleets. Capacity will be increased on both types using slimline seats.

Also, the galley on the rear pressure bulkhead will be replaced by lavatories, which will be pushed back from their current location forward of the aft exits to make more room for seats.

In addition, the A319 fleet will be getting AVOD. The reason is because DL wants to make more money by flying them on long and thin routes, which DL currently tries to avoid due to lack of IFE.

As for the A320 fleet, no AVOD is planned, and it remains to be seen if any aircraft with ship numbers 3250 or below will get the seat/lavatory mods, since those are DL's older A320s.

Now, one thing I wonder: will the Y seats be Weber/Zodiac 5751, B/E Aerospace Pinnacle, or something else such as the Recaro BL3520 or Aviointeriors Columbus Three? Also, will the seats have winged headrests?
