While updating my productionlist is my logbook I noticed that Pegasus will be taking both CFM A320 prototypes from Airbus when the campaign is finished, which will be in the next weeks I guess  |

Only one A320-271N, I think the A321 and later the A319 will be sold too. |

I think the A321 and later the A319 will be sold too. I think the A321 will be important enough to have a dedicated test frame given how Airbus is aiming for 50% of A32X deliveries to be the A321. |

We will see. I thought Airbus would be running only one A320 testframe in the future with MDN6101 replacing MSN1 |

Logical would be they would retain one PW + one LEAP but as always we will see....

Why? The had just one A32x before. Only MSN 1, a CFM engine based A320! No extra IAE, no extra A321, A319...

True but they are going to do the LR version with a lot of testing - probably with both engines. Up to that the 321 should be close to 1/2 of the orders so...
For sure there is going to be a lot of modifications in the future and those have to be tested.
There is still the timing - when will those sales complete.
On the other side you are right they do not have A330 with all the types of engines.....
