And this thread shows ~90% of the 900's do.

Is there a move to remove the bulk-heads on the 800's as well? Or any other changes? Wasn't there a new F seat rolled out? As a side note what is the point of the bulkheads between F/Y anyway? Was there a historical structural importance and then airlines just left them as cabin divider? I imagine weight and potentially not having to have airbags in row 6 is a reason for removing them.

Taking the bulkheads out would be a smart move. They have no structural significance.

There will be a new F seat with the rollout scheduled for sometime in 2019. It takes that long from the time the order is placed until they are actually delivered.
