Maybe not as soon as we would like! According to the fleet thread G-DBCA/C have been repainted this year - these are ex-BMI. You would imagine there would be enough seats and cabin fittings from retired aircraft to swap into the designated survivors of the -DBCx fleet. I'm surprised the -GATx haven't been space-flex'd and had their seat counts increased to 180 or even 183CY. The plan was to replace these with 737s, but that plan has gone a bit quiet since BAEF became the most recent Gatwick solution. IAG have ordered more NEOs and fewer 737s than initially announced, so plans must have changed for some IAG opCo's.
