This is a photo back from the press release for the CRJ550 and A320/A319 reconfiguration back in 2019. If I recall correctly press release stated that they planned on maintaining seat count by "maximizing galley space". Looking at N438UA's current flights, its clear now they kept 12F on the A320s which is a shame in my opinion (there would've been a period were those 4 extra first class seats would need to be hard blocked which would've been amazing for upgrades). At the end of the day, I'm just glad to finally see these planes get a brand new cabin.
Have any other planes gone into mod aside from the current A319 and B738?
