I'm guessing Alaska will be operating those Airbi for quite a while. Too many to replace, they are fairly new, and efficient. Don't know what they might do with the interiors, obviously quite different branding.

Did you know the first Airbus at VA coming off lease is in 2020, 4 years away, a N registered and US maintained Airbus, lots of airlines will be wanting those. UAL included IF the price is right.
