I’ve already added N637VA to the wiki above showing it’s in paint.
In terms if the last 2 neos. I ve already added N929VA as I have seen it on the xfw spotter blog on 01 March all completed. I will add updates as I find them in tracking or on that blog on when it’s officially delivered to AS. In terms of N930VA. It’s scheduled only 10 slots after n929va. So I suspect it will come pretty quickly after. But no official spotting of it yet. So I will add it until I see it running and flying around Airbus in Europe.
Of course we still have the 30 320 neos on order that have been deferred to 2020. I know AS will make a decision this year on all Boeing or hybrid fleet. So I suspect we will get official word on those orders then.
I see a lot of GSO movement. I’ll update the wiki tomorrow when I get some time.

N629VA in Greensboro. Likely maintenance, since every single Alaska A320 family jet that has landed in GSO has not been for the cabin retrofit. Again, I have no clue as to how to tell which jets are going in for cabin mods or routine maintenance checks.

Wiki updated - N632VA will go to GSO today. I suspect heavy maintenance as it seems all the VX heavy checks are done prior to painting but combine the reconfiguration at the same time. So i suspect N630VA/N639VA will exit GSO with the new interior and go to VCV for paint right away.
In terms of painting - after the couple that exit....only 4 VX branded left flying....so the pace will shift back over to AS rebrands at VCV.
I am not sure what (if any) they are going to do with the SF giants and Most West Coast liveries....i dont think they really need to paint them per se immediately...only when they want to get rid of the livery or partnership ends....so if anyone else hears otherwise....i am just going to move them over as AS painted as there isnt a schedule to paint 924/925 any time soon

The Most West Coast thing was tied to an ad campaign at the time, so I'd guess that one would just go to the standard AS livery. The Giants livery should stick around since the sponsorship goes for the next six seasons (at least), so it might just be going in for an update to add Chester on the tail.

So I'm confused. Wife is currently on N625VA and it clearly has the new FC seats in a 12F config. Nothing on the tracker says thats been done though. So either Flight radar is off because of a tail swap (They haven't left yet) or the magical AS elves do some crazy work at night. lol
Dur..more coffee needed this morning. Was looking at 525..not 6. All makes sense.
