I struggle to see a role for the A319 in the fleet 3-5yrs post merger. I would be very very surprised if the 319neo was ever delivered to NK/JB.
The A220-500 will be a workhorse and no doubt we see it replace a lot of our current A320ceo capacity.
The most economical variant of any given airframe is the one that holds the most pax. A321 vs A319, A220-500 vs A220-100

Yep.
The future of JetBlue is eventually an all 220(multiple variants) and 321 airline. It’s gonna take a while but that is the way we are headed. Especially if the 220-500 comes along soon.

Looks like Spirit already has 55 A320NEOs in the fleet. They would also stay.

My crystal ball says AA will change their minds in a few years. They will want A220s, for several reasons, not the least of which is many of their A319s are getting old.

I wonder if AA will buy up all of these used A319. They have stated they don’t want any A220. After all, they have A319s.

Stating the obvious to some of you here.
Spirit has always said that any of the 320 series orders can be executed as 319 or 320 or 321, but as of now the fleet plan specifically shows only 320neo and 321neo orders.
I don't recall ever seeing any specific 319neos in the fleet plan. The 319s are getting a little long in the tooth, but I flew a 319 and a 320 yesterday and the 320 was a pig and the 319 was a peach.
Another tidbit, a few years ago United was scrounging for second hand 319s and picked up a bunch from China. The Spirit 319s were also slated to head to United, but it never happened.

Airbus too is having supply chain problems affecting their deliveries which are currently running about 90% of their nominal capacity. The 320 series still massively dominates their order book and current deliveries.
