Did not even think of this as part of the new roll out.

Looks like flight 727 RDU-SEA this afternoon will be the first flight with the new configuration. For those keeping score, that's tail 536.

I don't know that it's been clear which way this is going.

Has anyone been on one of these aircraft yet?
I just booked an award flight in coach for Oct 7, and the seat map was showing an -800 w/ 12 F. Exit row was open, but I was temped to try row 8. 6/7 are occupied. Do I take one for the FT team and possibly report on the new seats? Or stick with the exit row?

FWIW, when I was in Greensboro last year, I saw two AS planes leave within an hour of each other. One went to Florida somewhere, the other went back to SEA. Seems odd seeing Chester floating around that airport.

Guess there isn't a quick n' easy way to tell them apart, aside from 800's getting the mod first (if that's the case).
