I have not seen that reliably confirmed or denied yet.
My bet is that they will not remove any J seats, as the PE refit is a more simple process - take out existing Y seats and replace them with PE.
If they are planning on removing J seats, they will have a much more complicated refit process.
But it's DP's AA, so who knows.

With the aggressive PE installation schedule, I don't think there is any slack to reconfigure the J cabin at this point and those birds probably will remain 45J for a bit.
Those Zodiac J seats suck so I'd be fine if they install the B/E J seats and reconfigure to 37J.

UA will come out of all the US3 refits the winner, as they will have the most J seats on their widbodies.
Granted, Polaris installs won’t be complete for another 10 years at the pace they are going. Ha.
