All Airbus operations have now ended with Alaska Airlines.

Then N632VA will need to be repainted. But like you said, it’s likely going to get cabin mods, and will go straight to VCV... or do what N630VA did and wait a bit.

Question about interior retro-fitting.
I have a flight booked way out in September on "airbus family". Currently the seating chart shows an old config (8 FC, Premium only 6 & exit rows).
That means it will have old VX seats (IFE, etc) right? Once the interiors are retrofitted, there will be minimum 12 FC seats (16 on 321-neos). There's no "middle ground" retro-fit is there? Where they change in all AS seats but keep the same old seating configuration? That would seem wasteful.
I realize September is a ways off and I could end up with an equipment swap before then, but I'm hoping to experience the VX FC seat (assuming its not broken!) before they disappear.

It may or may not happen, but a good general rule at this point for Airbus bookings made that far out is to just expect and be prepared for an equipment swap.
