Is this just a temporary change or are the fleets going to be used interchangeably going forward?

I realize this may have to do with dedicating Polaris-reconfigured frames to certain routes due to Premium Plus launching this weekend, but the randomness across different days will make certainly avoiding the 2-4-2 J on the pmUA frames extremely difficult!

Yes, they are starting to move around as the "low priority" ORD routes with pmUA aircraft are getting the pmCO ones as the PE-equipped frames go elsewhere.
