Another example is if you look at SEA-ANC this fall. Most flights show 12F and 156Y, which is a configuration that doesn’t even exist.
As a date moves closer and the airline can judge how strong or weak bookings are, they will assign a -700, -800, or 900er on a route.
One last thought, my hunch is that what we see in employee travel after April is far from reality. After we are single PSS, I bet they swap a bunch of Airbus and Boeing routes.
Could be, just looking fall winter time frame on the Alaska website, I couldn’t find any routes for the 319.
