Aaand they swapped it. They loaded a new special flight for the A321NX inaugural. It's now flight 1 on the same day. Plane will be N2002J named David G Neeleman. After the special flight, it will be on the 1701/1202 rotation daily as planned.

N2016J, the second A321NX is ferrying to MCO today for delivery. It will go to LCQ for IFE installation before entering service.

Just saw that. It will be making a stop in Boston first. Would have been a great proving opportunity if it could have done LCQ nonstop from Europe

Will they begin making the NX in MOB at some point?

That would be up to Airbus. I bet the A220s will be made there when Jetblue finally starts taking delivery of them.

Anybody know what's up with N509JB? It isn't on the lists here for cabin refreshes. (And as might be expected, had several IFE issues)

509 has not been updated yet. The dedicated A320 thread had a typo in its wiki, which I've since fixed.

Wiki has been updated with info on the 4 leased A321s. More info to come as it becomes available.

I heard a rumor that the interiors will not be redone, so if this is true, N901JT and N902JT will have 220 seats, and N930JL and N931JT will have 214. No wifi or IFE.

The rumors I've heard indicate they are former Thomas Cook planes. They will be flown around in their current configuration (I guess with five FAs) until they have a chance to be reconfigured. This will go over really well with customers I bet

I just can't imagine them putting five FAs on a plane, considering how understaffed they currently claim to be. I could see them taking out seats and flying them right at 200.

They were originally Monarch planes that Thomas Cook picked up after Monarch went under. G-TCVA through G-TCVD are the former registrations.

I would imagine that these four planes would cause a logistical nightmare. In addition to the additonal FA, they'd also have to load two new seat maps into Sabre, and issue 214-220 vouchers for the missing IFE/WiFi that's part of the JetBlue experience.

I looked up the seat map for the Thomas Cook 220 seat version. The pitch is 28-30", and the seat width is 17.6" because Thomas Cook wanted a wider aisle.

Very interesting... 2013 and 2014 deliveries. I think these four all have 220 seats. I'm surprised they don't have space flex -- four full-size lavs! It wouldn't be a huge issue technology-wise; just throw a new config into Sabre and run with it. I could definitely see them using these on high-capacity Caribbean routes that usually are outside of LTV/Fly-Fi coverage anyway. According to Seatguru they have overhead TVs and audio channels; I wonder if JetBlue will take advantage of that.

There is a process in place. If more than a certain percentage of the seats have inoperative TVs (I forget if it is 40 or 60) and it is written up in the logbook, maintenance has a way of passing this information to customer service, who issues vouchers for all customers on that flight. At least that's how it's supposed to be done.

You might be right. The 214 seats is assumed based upon there not being any record of those two being reconfigured by Thomas Cook. I don't see why Thomas Cook wouldn't have added that extra row considering the two aircraft that supposedly have 214 were acquired by Thomas Cook before the two that we know for sure that Thomas Cook had reconfigured to 220.

A lot of poor planning by JetBlue leadership in dealing with the a321neo delivery issues. The right thing to do is to get these before the summer rush season and get them configured correctly as they expand on mint flyinggyhis summer.

These will be based in sju and used for vfr flights where most of their fleet currently can't use the WiFi and live TV. Just like their move in putting neo into service before they got configured. They are always short on aircraft. I am sure once there is some slack in their schedule, that's when they will get configured.

Where do they fly where they’d be VFR? As a Part 121 carrier they’re very restricted as to where and when they can operate VFR with passengers on board.
