I can't imagine the Easy Jet frames are for parts since they have so many planned...and they have CFM engines.

Yes, the CFM frames will go into service. The current plan is to add about 20 and continue to explore opportunities to source used A319/320 of any variety, since UA can now be essentially agnostic with IAE vs. CFM.
