This may help:

The 737 features the Boeing Sky Interior, which highlights new modern sculpted sidewalls and window reveals, LED lighting that enhances the sense of spaciousness and larger pivoting overhead stowage bins.

Many of them won’t be converted, there is not enough seats available, and in fact Virgin are advising that due to unusual configs, you may not get extra leg room etc on some flights.

That's interesting - if those happen to be the newer Rockwell Collins seats, with the tablet/phone holder, they're actually a generation ahead of the ones that used to be on the SilkAir 737-800s, and a similar model to the ones found on the 737-8 MAXs.

Both are still in storage in ASP. Is movement imminent?

James, It may only be book keeping since the Caymans are normally a "flag of convenience"

Thanks Greg. I wonder whether Virgin got the seats out of these two aircraft?
