If you search the FAA aircraft registration database using the pattern by which F9 numbers aircraft (N2xxFR for 320's, N9xxFR for 319's), you'll find 9 N-numbers (N701FR through N712FR, with a few skips for previously existing registrations). These 9 have been reserved since 11/24/14, which is the same week that the 321 order was announced. This leads me to believe that these will be the 9 321's. However, there aren't any more N7xxFR numbers reserved beyond that.
Based on this [self-disclaimer] completely speculatory and way out there "research," I would say that we're only getting the 9 for now

. But we can always hope for more!
EDIT: There are also 8 more 320 registrations reserved. Based on the May bid packets, N229FR will be online in the first half of the month. That leaves 7 more to go (something like N230FR through N240FR). Maybe those are coming on as new/replacement aircraft in the near future? Or maybe they've been reserved just in case? Let the speculation begin!
Good work Heis! Yeah I'd heard a rumor about near doubling the amount of 321s. But I also heard a rumor about Delta asking for our financials so they can make us their low-cost subsidiary. Would that be like Germanwings to Lufthansa? Oh and Las Vegas opening is my personal favorite. Ya'll can have Orlanta!
