Not in my area of operation (CAR-SAM). Mind you, I've been flying the A320 for 7 years now and I'm yet to see an A320 equipped with WAAS in the two different companies I've flown for in that period of time.

Hence the "if you only knew..." remark some posts above. I'd reckon a high percentage of modern GA aircraft are better equipped than most airliners, other than the most recent ones
