AFAIK the A319s are not to replace A321s, but are additional aircraft, perhaps more accurately considered as a replacement for the Fokker.

I believe the first few A319s replaced Fokkers (and that there is only one Fokker left). However the latest two A319s have replaced two A321s which are now with Turkish Airlines.

Sorry to see the A321s go as they obviously offered more cheap seats and more importantly offer a better chance of getting an empty middle seat. Though it is nice to see more of the "new" colours at Heathrow.
Will be interesting to see the outcome of the new Chief Exec's review of the business. Personally I'd like to see baby integrated back into mainline. BA seem to do well appealing to business and leisure passengers with just one, admittedly much stronger, brand.
