N669SW has retired, was in regular livery, reduced fleet size by 1 frame.
N369WN is due to have gone after the weekend - and is in the Heart livery.

The primary location for Southwest to have their fleet repainted seems to be the aforementioned Geiger Field; does anybody know if there are any other locations where the work is occurring?

FLEET NOTES
+ HEART SEATS INSTALLED ON SOME 83** SERIES -800s

4 or 8605,I think.
The rest of the -800 fleet is TBD.
As a reminder, 8687 and after are Heart interiors. The next set of -800s will be 85XX

The way I understood it, 20 or so 800s would be donating their seats to the used 700s that are pending conversion, and those 800s would be getting the new sling type true slimlines. They should also be getting the new cart-less rear galley. Other than the lack of an L1 galley, they should be indistinguishable from the fresh deliveries.

However I think they are ONLY getting the seats, no galley changes.
By my math, 114 -800s will have Heart seats and 82 will have Evolve seats at the end of -800 deliveries, not counting any options or further retrofits.
