I wonder what happens to pax who reserved row 4 on those flights where this aircraft is deployed. Row 4 is the bulkhead listed as MCE on the LUS A319. On this new config the bulkhead is row 8. Are pax originally seated in rows 4-7 now automatically reassigned rows 8-11 or are they just displaced to other open seats anywhere in the back? Seems that would be unfair, but wouldn't put it past AA... am interested to hear some first hand experience as these planes make their way around the LUS system.

All the more reason to diligently babysit those existing reservations on A319s in either cabin.

Data point: Currently flightaware.com shows N821AW scheduled to be flying flight 780 (LAX-IND) tomorrow- Nov. 15th, and the return flight 460 IND-LAX on the same day. Seatmap on AA.com shows original LUS config though (3 rows of F, bulkhead Y row 4). Looking at the seatmap for flight 780, it's obvious there are already more pax assigned seats in F than are available on the new config. If ship 821 does indeed operate this flight, there will be some pissed of pax for sure...
