I'm not sure if this is part of the 6 already announced, but it looks like 3 new A320s will be coming in from AWAS:

The A320 is a really good plane and I'm glad to see F9 adding more to the fleet. I'd love to see them add DEN-HNL with it, but it's probably pushing its range a bit too close for comfort.

I wonder if they have/could get a few A319LR. They could offer some longer routes without having to go widebody or 757. I'd also love to see the A321 come in on some of bigger vacation routes like MKE-MCO.

No, I don't think either. Because the entire A320 does not have enough range to reaches into Hawaii. F9 will have to installed with ETOPS overwater certifications from FAA approval. All A320 must have with liferaft & lifejacket, too. This is overwater restrictions will cutoff the times 120 minutes. I think A320 should have flying one-stop in West Coast either way LAX or OAK-Hawaii instead of going through nonstop DEN-HNL. I think you mention F9 will have to orders newest A319LR to boost more extra ranges to reaches into Hawaii.
