There are almost 70 Airbus that came with Virgin America. A mix of 319s, 320s, and 321 NEOs. Mostly 320s.

I do know the NEO or LRs they have, are kicking serious ass against their beloved 73s in fuel efficiency and savings.

With the market seeming to dry up, they’re gonna have to pay up if they want airframes.

Summerlin is shopping but not buying. Yet. Word is the price AS wants is still too high. In reality they are hoping 20 more will pop up in a jungle somewhere before they have to act. I bet its way more likely United buys the AS AB and we get UA worn out ones at a price point G4 are willing to pay.
I do like the revival of the Sun Country rumor though. That's an interesting twist to swap planes for planes.
