Given that only 12 A320 airfcraft did not undergo the cabin enhancement project (the reconfiguring to 186 seats) my bet is that it will be this number that leaves the JQ fleet.
The CEP only finished a few months ago, so it would be unlikely that an airframe would be taken offline for a month and the money spent on 186 slimline seats just to get rid of it a year later.
