A320's

Brian, I was on DX a few weeks back and it now has mid haul C seating (blue leather not the new brown) in the first 5 rows. Must have been fitted when it was repainted recently.

DS was noted on a run to EVN a few of weeks back so I assume it too has gained mid haul C seats?

DT appears to be out of service since 18/11 but operated a DME before disappearing, has it regained its mid haul C seats?

Anyone know the current config of DO & DY, did they retain their C seats or are they operating in convertabile C/Y mode for LH/LX? I remember about a year ago G-MID* A320's were supposed to go back to all Y config.

Can someone in the know confirm any of the above? Presumably the fitting of C seats to the original A320's is to provide operational contingency to the important mid haul routes should there be any tech issues?

Would it not be more desireable to operate TIP with an A320 with a C cabin instead of an A319 with all Y or convertable C/Y seating?
