Yes, the 700/800’s had new interiors, and I know that airbus constantly upgrades the jet, but technically per airbus an “enhanced” a320 is the leap when they went from CRT->LCD and changed the hydraulic logic for nose wheel steering. I think 590JB was the first enhanced A320 jetblue received. It mi...

N659JB departed today, N658JB has taken over on that line.
N806JB is wrapping up over the next few days.
It depends on how different the engine overhaul is. Remember the MD-90 shared the same basic V2500 as found on thousands of A320s, but it is different enough that ultimately by the end only one shop was qualified to work on it. Yup.

A common nick name for the A320, and maybe other A3xx, is Fifi. Why? I have no clue, but that's what a few of us called it. The 737 is known as the guppy at UAL. It’s French, hence FiFi.
