Is anybody tracking the A320 fleet refurb?
I did a few searches but can't seem to find anybody doing A320 fleet refurb tracking? Am I missing something or does somebody need to step up on this?

There was a brief discussion about it on the Cabin Restyling thread. I've also been tracking it in the wiki on the fleet guide thread which is now buried. I have now added a section to the bottom of the wiki for a cabin refresh tracker by tail number.
Only three have been done so far, and the rest are on hold right now because they're testing the Phase 2 Rockwell Collins interior. A brand new plane, an A321, N999JQ was sent to LCQ for a test fitting last week. Eventually, A321s will be delivered with the Phase 2 interior, and all A320 refreshes will get the Phase 2 interior instead of the current Phase 1/A321 interior.
The ones with the cabin refresh are the following:
N568JB
N570JB
N646JB

My assumption then would be to wait until 2020 before I would have a reasonable chance of getting the refurbished A320's . This refurbish seems to be taking forever .

Hmm, my list must be outdated then. Let me verify the airliners list and update the fleet info thread accordingly. Also, this means that they're continuing the Phase 1 refreshes while they're tinkering with Phase 2.
All but N571JB on that list I can confirm to have been refreshed. N571JB appears to have gone to LCQ where the refreshes are being performed (returned 9/28), but I can't confirm if it returned with the new interior as the seat maps still show 25 rows on the flights that N571JB is scheduled.
There are currently three A320s sent out for cabin refresh.
One was sent 11/15
Another was sent 11/16
N506JB was sent 11/23
On today, 11/27, two aircraft are scheduled to be sent to LCQ, one from JFK as flight 6413, and one from BOS as flight 6419. I haven't been able to find out which ones yet.
So, there will be five at LCQ if all goes according to plan. I don't have the tail numbers for the two sent a couple weeks ago, and the two being sent today haven't filed the tail numbers in their flight plans yet.

I don't care about refreshes but I honestly need them to just maintain the existing A320 interiors until this is figured out. I've been told repeatedly now by different people in the know that they're purposely not fixing the existing planes on account of all the refresh talk. It's taking away from the overall JetBlue Experience when those of us who fly often consistently get equipment with non-functional FlyFi, SiriusXM and/or DirectTV. I was also just on an A320 where the ceiling panel in front of me was dangling. Come on. Maintenance had to come fix it before we could push back.
I won't even touch the E190 issues.

N510JB was sent to Mobile, AL (BFM). They don't do cabin mods there, but JetBlue has a paint shop contractor there.

I added a Wikipost with a list of what we seem to know right now about the fleet refurb. If a mod wants to change the post title to something like "A320 Fleet Refurbishment Tracking" we can use this one.
