Possibly the former (kinda sorta) after the latter (kinda sorta). Both have been severely cannibalized to keep the other 2000s running. From what I can gather, I do not believe the lessors want 686 and 687 back, they just do not want them further cannibalized. If I was a lessor, I would not want my aircraft used as a parts store either. I would want them flyable in case I found reputable and financially solvent organization willing to lease them.
