If you look at the seat maps of the LUS A321 and LAA A321, they are remarkably similar, with the only difference besides the LAA having AVOD and in-seat power, is an extra row of Y on the LUS A321. The tradeoff is that the LUS A321 is probably the best ride in Y in the domestic fleet due to the extra pitch. Originally, I believe the plan was for five rows of F on the LAA A321, well that was before the merger. When the new management came in, they decided to trade one row of F to match the LUS A321 configuration. It should be a relatively quick fix to match the LUS A321 configuration to the LAA A321 configuration, considering how quickly the LUS A319s are having the new seats, in-seat power, new bulkhead and carpet, and new bin doors installed. I don't understand why they claim to be studying it while it makes zero sense to continue with these planes long term without MCE. While it made sense to do the A319 fleet first because of the size of the fleet, the state of the LUS A319 interior, and the ability to swap these aircraft around the system relatively quickly, to ignore the standardisation of a fleet of what will eventually become a total of 202 aircraft is complete nonsense. I don't think even $mi$ek at his worst would have thought it as a good long term plan. Ok yes, I understand Delta had about ten different configurations of the 757 at one point but they all had Comfort+ installed despite some having AVOD, others Overhead LCDs, and the PMNW no power/IFE. (Soon they will have just two different domestic 757 fleets, with a subfleet able to fly to Hawai'i, and a dwindling second fleet scheduled to be retired shortly.) But to not offer MCE to 121 aircraft in A321 fleet and such a small section of F make the LUS A321 a nightmare for non-upgraded EXPs who don't even get guaranteed extra legroom besides the extra inch the entire Y cabin gets on the whole plane. This is one of the biggest critiques I have of these management in that they've selectively installed MCE to the LUS A319 and new 757 Hawaiian fleets but have yet to announce it fleet wide. Really, if you're going to start selling W as a new class next year, you claim to continue to be offering MCE in Y but yet you have not said it will be extended to the LUS A320/A321 fleets. The inconsistent messaging and basic product offering is pitiful. Forget AVOD for now, just make a somewhat consistent expectation of MCE and in-seat power. Ok rant over....
