They’re painting several per month now

Ah. Thanks. So you guys are keeping them? What about being "all Boeing"?

"Proudly Slightly Majority Boeing"

They are half painting them, not bothering with the wings, and there has been no announcement regarding the airbus future but I think most expect them to be gone over the next few years.

I wouldn’t be so sure about this. I don’t think they have any time frame on when to get rid of the Airbus. They just renewed the 319 leases as an example. They will get rid of them when there is a recession or some sort of downturn and they can’t fill airplanes assuming the leases are set to expire. I think they enjoy the flexibility of having the option to keep them or dump them when the leases are up depending on what the economy is doing or how well the competition is destroying us.

Plus the next merger will likely be with an Airbus operator. 😉

I've heard this numerous times from many pilots. Is this really true? Or just a rumor? How would we even know if a lease was renewed on an A319?

This is what Alaska will do.

1) Park all the Airbusses and replace them with Boeing.
2) Overpay (again) for another airline that is a 100% Airbus airline.
3) Park all those Airbusses and replace them with Boeing.

You forgot one:

4) Close jetBlue's JFK base
