I understand what you are saying. However, WBs on select domestic routes allows us to increase seat availability at peak demand hours. Especially into slot constrained airports. Older WBs may not be as fuel efficient as newer ones, but if they fly shorter routes the higher fuel burn is less of a factor. A few years ago, I wouldn't have guessed we'd be flying many domestic legs on 777s, but here we are.

True, but our oldest 320s are 23 years old, oldest 319s/700s are 19/17 years old respectively. They are going to need something to start showing on property in a few years to start replacing that lift. Plus we have lots of aircraft on lease now that we could return, especially since interest rates favor buying right now. That is why we announced in Nov that we were buying 175s for RJET instead of leasing them, saving $100m.

Not equal for sure, I didn't mean a one for one swap of airframes. I do think there will be opportunities to pick up 787s or whatever quickly as other carriers run into problems and try to defer orders (Turkish Airlines for example). Sixty deferred -700s could equal maybe a dozen 787s (I'm not gonna look up exact values, but I'm sure you get what I'm saying).
