To interpret from what I've read

MSN 6866 = American

MSN 6909 = no idea (Jetblue maybe?)

Keep in mind DL's first A321 is MSN 6923, and might be assembled in Mobile for all we know.

Did a search and found this post by XWB. Both aircraft on the shipment are for American

MSN 6923 will be assembled in XFW.

Delta's first A321 to be assembled at Mobile will be MSN 7281.

Maybe all the time is needed to qualify and certify all those new production workers?
