All the 320 CEO sold were sharklet.

The tail #'s I've been told are:

320's-

632, 638, 639, 640, 641, 642, 647, 649, 650, 691, 692, 693, 694, 695, and 696.

321's-

657, 658, 673, 674, 675, 678, 681, and 682.

It's sad for me. I flew many of these birds on their first logbook, brand new, seats hadn't even been broken in with farts.... Sigh... 😔

Were they SOLD and TRANSFERRED to another company for their own operation? Or SOLD for leaseback purposes? Can’t quite keep up. I didn’t think any of these aircraft were leaving the fleet. Just essentially used as equity to raise cash.

These aircraft were sold to GA Telesis for PCS.

Right. So still yellow and flown by NK pilots? And unless someone read these comments, it’s business as usual.

These aircraft are no longer flying for Spirit. Check FlightAware for each tail #.

All 23 are gone, last one left in January along with the last A319 and 230 pilots. So no, not business as usual.

I knew that certain tails were sold back for leaseback purposes. I wasn’t aware they eliminated 321s from the fleet. Guess that’s why we are here. Learn me some more.
