Does not look like much growth to me. Growth to a pilot is airframes added. not cities added.
Incorrect, growth (to a pilot) is basically block hours added, but even that is simplifying it.
The company is currently limited by crews, not aircraft. Yes there are a few airplanes gone, reason being there is no reason to keep old 700s around when there is no crew to operate them and they would have soon been replaced by new MAXs.
Everything comes to down to training capacity right now.
