UAX Update: CR2: N413AW exited fleet, FTW for AA paint My guess is ZW paint scheme, not AA. They will need to have a few "White Tails" to float between the two companies. Just a guess though. Why? Air Wisconsin's contract is ending with United. They don't need any 'white tails.' This is m...

Effect? Zero. Flights that are currently operating will continue to do so - many with abysmal load factors, so this really doesn't change much.
Japan will eventually figure out that they need to remove all draconian restrictions, such as Singapore, to see a real rebound in economic activity.
I remember the 320 reconfiguration seemed a bit odd as there was no seat loss in the back. I can't find the seat map, but recall pitch wasn't equal on both sides of the aisle.
