Narrative:
Departing runway 25R in VMC conditions in an MD80; following an A319. Light winds. Takeoff clearance was issued about time of A319's rotation. After takeoff we experienced rolling of approximately 20 degrees left and right; for a total of three un-commanded rolls. Incident was reported to tower. Granted this event occurred behind an aircraft of similar size; I would consider the A319 a 'higher-lift' aircraft than an MD80; or any older generation aircraft: it's designed for higher altitudes; higher speed and longer distance than my old girl; the -80. I am submitting this because this happened behind a narrowbody; vs. A B757 or larger.
