They will get refitted with Southwest's evolve seating, which I don't find either more spacious or comfy, but they will be new.
Some already have been moved to Southwest. I understand there will still be 12-18 left when Airtran stops flying in December. I have been told these will continue to fly in Airtran colors until they can be completely changed over.
I wonder if they will change the seats before then since that can be accomplished in a few hours. They should have plenty of spare seats from the planes already changed over.
