thats a big plus you mentioned.....

most customers dont know the difference between the two.....unlike us AV geeks....i agree i love the 320 interior along with the new 220.....

Fleet consistency is a pretty significant consideration, generally considered one of the major factors in WN's success.

Based on its flight history, I think it is safe to say the pandemic killed the 15-year old N521VA.

I wish weebly was updated - looking at the movements through VCV over the months. I think all 739s are fully repainted.....and i think 2-3 738s are left in old paint(specifically salmon 737 is still there)....we are painfully close!

Weebly (https://alaskafleetstatus.weebly.com/) is sorely out of date. A number of A320s show there as Long Term Storage but are actively in-flight.

Would really be nice to have a wiki-sourced solution for tracking the fleet

The one at the top of the page/thread only covers the Airbus on the fleet. It would be nice to have something covering the entire fleet.
