I noticed that the A321neos have started going in for heavy maintenance visits, but not necessarily in the order they were delivered. 921 went to SAT for a month and then 925 to GSO, with 922 parked now as of today. Any reason why 925 skipped ahead of the pack?

Just 100% speculation, it might have already been closer to some inspection phase, or some service bulletin came out that it was affected by. Lots of little things that happen in the maintenance world.

I have to say, I really didn't imagine we'd get that kind of bump in product from Alaska, alliance or no alliance.

N633VA and N640VA have been sitting by the SFO rental car facitlity in "active storage" i saw them move the other day and it appears perhaps they were about to fly again - i appears weebly is indicating a return to service for N633VA....so perhaps we will see N6 series fly again for AS before end of next year....heres hoping N641 flies again given the VX interiors but i doubt it.....
the demand for air travel is skyrocketing right now....ive never seen such a quick price appreciation in only a month.
looks like the end of the pandemic socially is upon us.....

I agree....the prices are skyrocketing....I was pricing PDX-PHL for August the other day and the lowest main cabin was around $250 each way....makes me miss those $123 PDX-FLL fares (even lower after the weekly discount code was applied). Oh well, I'm glad they're able to make some $$ again....I guess.

I live in BC and spend the winter at my vacation home in PHX. I was in the US since early November. Usually in the winter I am in Southern Hemisphere Summer but with the travel restrictions I flew a lot domestically and a couple of trips to CR. Although the land borders are closed to non essential travel, there has never been any restrictions on Canadians entering the US via air.
