All Airbus operations have now ended with Alaska Airlines.
This Wiki will be updated periodically with status of former frames with new owners or sadly scrapped.

N635VA has entered into service again.
N283VA appears to be entering the fleet again. It looks they are pulling any reconfig aircraft back into the fleet that they paying for the lease anyway....

Updated wiki regarding todays airbus outlook.
I still think the airbuses will be in the fleet for longer than 2023 - i dont think boeing can deliver maxes quick enough.
This thread will still track returns until the very last one!

I don't know - AS took delivery of 3 MAXs in the last 3 days- will be interesting to watch! I will miss the A321NEOs terribly, sad to see them go - quieter and more comfortable than the 900ERs. That being said, at least the AS 900ERs are roomier than UAs -talk about a cattle car experience that I will never repeat! Have not had the pleasure of being on a MAX yet.

I think we should merge it all together; the airbuses are heading out of the fleet sooner (unless another 737 grounding happens which given a 738 went down in china - isnt out of the realm of possibilty depending on outcome of the initial investigation).

I am going to get this information together - the hard part is the 737-800 archive seems to have disappeared - if someone has a new archive somewhere for these pages - i will put into a wiki.

Weebly was known for being out of date and missing information. Has that improved?

On N361VA right now and let me tell you the FA's are so excited to see the 320's be done. 3 FA's/150 pax is tough, especially since only 2 serve the 138 pax in the Y cabin. I was chatting with one and she was counting the days....
