Thanks for the updates Mr. Babb.
Also, I have heard rumors that the A319s will be getting 10 more Y seats by the use of slimline seats. Are those rumors true?
If so, what model of Y seat will they get? In addition to the Weber/Zodiac 5751 and B/E Aerospace Pinnacle, Weber/Zodiac now offers a 5752 seat, which is an update to the 5751. Other comparable models of seats include the Recaro BL 3520 and Aviointeriors UltraLight. I know some of the ex-Northwest aircraft have Recaro seats in Y, and perhaps the past Northwest relationship might play a role in future seat orders. The pre-merger Delta fleet primarily has Weber seats in Y, except for the MD-88s and Delta original MD-90s, which have B/E Aerospace seats. The ex-Northwest fleet has generally either Recaro or B/E Aerospace seats in Y. As for Aviointeriors, that seems unlikely considering neither Delta nor Northwest have a past experience with that seat manufacturer, however, it shouldn't be ruled out completely.
