But they're adding a row. 2 x 55" VX rows = 110" vs. 3 x 41" AS rows = 123", AS's F cabin may end up having a bigger footprint than VX's F cabin. And AS likes to do closets. VX does not, so add some space there.

The only carrier that has more than 150 seats in an A320 is DL, with small pitch in F, which is not up to AS's new spec., and a very small Comfort+ section.
