They have something like 30 737s in order. Growth is right around the corner. I think you’ll continue to see growth in SFO, I think AS is trying to make sure they’re flying the right routes from SFO, aka profitable. The fact they’re investing millions into a new lounge underscores they see SFO in their future.

Rumor has it that AS will be announcing a major additional order for the 737 Max as soon as they are back in the air. I can't remember the number now but it thought it was for at least 60 planes.

**Updated wiki regarding the 319s. I highly suspect they wont refurb them just for them to go to AA next year. I think these will leave the fleet in VX configuration. But we will await an official person to confirm this.

If I had to guess, it would be around December or January. But, as mentioned, it sounds like American is getting some or all of the A319s? I don’t know why AS has been quiet on this matter, but they do have seat maps planned out for the A319s. Time will tell. But the A319s really need to be refitted. If there’s any fleet that is deteriorating, it’s the A319 fleet. Especially since now almost half of the A320s and all but one of the A321s are reconfigured.

This site is usually pretty great for letting me know before a flight what the wifi provider is: https://alaskafleetstatus.weebly.com/a320.html
Helped a friend out last week flying LIR-LAX and he needed wifi for work. Got lucky ^ (flight down was ground based wifi- sad)
