Not sure what's going on with the 320's. Ships up to 3250 are coming up on their end-of-life cycles. Airbus publicly doesn't have a life-extension program for 320's and in the past has said it wouldn't offer one. But it's widely known on Virgina Ave that Richard wanted Airbus to offer a program for the oldest birds. I'm assuming if the release says the 60+ 320's then some sort of life extension program is in the works. Then again, my understanding has been the fleet plan took into account only keeping 3251 through 3278 around past 2015.
