Just a small thing but wondering why you have it listed as "VZL-VZS,VZT-VZZ" rather than just "VZL-VZZ". I realise the BSI started at VZT but it doesn't really change anything from the refurbishment point of view.

I know I'm being picky. Your work on this thread (and the A330 refurb one) is amazing!

Suspect that's why I did it, but agree it's minor.

Thx. Started more so I had an idea of what I was flying - albeit I got pushed into the 737s
 
Looks like VH-VZY may also be under going refurbishment (in BNE). It hasn't operated any flights since arriving in BNE on 1 March.

Perhaps its getting a heavy check at the same time as well?
 
VH-VXA was back in service yesterday afternoon after a short stay (~6 days) in BNE maintenance so it is not refurbished.
 
TBH I havent seen the curtain pulled on any short flights in quite a while, even my last BNE-PER in a 737 curtain wasn't pulled J cabin was just a free for all for the toilet, guess now that wont improve, it will make it worse, have always felt the curtain and curtain 'wall' has made the J cabin feel like a seperate cabin but now Y & J are just one big happy family!

I've been on several 737 flights this week - always in Row 4; always old configs (with curtain) and on all of them the curtain was wide open all flight. So I am coming to this conclusion too.
