Was rather surprised when I stepped onboard G-OZBX yesterday & it still had First Choice interior! Was this aircraft rushed into service or is there a reason why it's been left like that?

The decision to lease and put into service was all done within a couple of months.
However my guess the carpets will be changed at a later date, as what is fitted will most likely be new, as both a/c had major checks carried out on them prior to Monarch taking them.
Due to the availability of man power and hangar space prior to service entry, most of the Monarch modifications were delayed till later in the year.
Seat covers were not available, time due to manufacture. Carpets, curtains and other cabin items would have come under when time available.

How long do you reckon it will take for the 'Fly Your Way. Every Day' to be removed from the aircraft? I know it has been removed from all widebody aircraft and G-MRJK

When I worked at PAN-AM the slogan was: (sung)
'PAN-AM, we fly the world the way the world wants to fly'
Rather tricky, considering the world is fairly uncontrollable.
Those were the days.

Do all of the aircraft that have the decals on have the new interiors (blind covers and Headrest)? Or is it just a select few - if so which ones?
Thanks,

No blinds installed on any aircraft at MAEL Manchester during the re-brand. (100% fact) I would say the same for the aircraft re-branded at MAEL Luton? (90% on that one) So I guess that means they were installed on one aircraft OZBT

Alright thanks for that. Thats a shame they looked quite funky and fun to be honest. I wonder why they scrapped the idea? Are the headrests all updated like on G-OZBT or has that been scrapped as well - they made me laugh them - Head Rest or Extra Leg Space ... like it wasnt obvious haha.

Some of the Cabin Crew in October said to me it was put on some of the other A321's.
