Interesting they removed the Alaska. But not Chester on the tail. Pretty sad to see it sitting in the desert unclaimed. I think AC rouge may pick it up. They are on the market for used 320s.

N921VA at GSO for what I presume is the cabin refit. This would be the final 321

The N2XXVA and N3XXVA series aircraft are the newest and as such the interiors are in better shape overall....so im sure we will see the focus after the N8XX and N6XX series (if the remaining 3 will go to get refurbs...) are done....they are really accelerating now....so come early 2020...all 321s are done....so i think we will see the first ones go in then.....
Of course i still wondering about the 319s...they are in the worst shape in terms of interior conditions.....
This whole max delay further into 2020 isnt helping AS with their commitment to Boeing maxes to replace the airbus fleet in the future.....

Looking at several flights in December PDX-LAX and ExpertFlyer is showing “32S”. Any flight with this aircraft listed is showing a First Class cabin with 8 seats. Corroborated by the AS website showing the same. Because of this lower count, its affecting U and A space. If all of the configurations are to be completed by July, why would any flight in December show an F cabin with 8 seats? Have read the wiki closely, but am I missing something?

Looks like the 319s are not getting any mods at the moment....i just wish they would sent 841 due to how bad the interiors are before they do anymore ETOPS/N3XX aircraft.

All 319s are going to AA in the near future. I don't think any of them are getting the new seats.

841 was scheduled to go to GSO last night but the flight was cancelled and it now scheduled around the system for the next 3 days. I think AS is short aircraft at the moment - 843VA was supposed to come out of MX last week but after a couple of test flights is still at GSO. 926 has been there for 3 weeks as well, not to mention the 3 A319s.
