Agree with you - lots of new planes, good news in general for the airline.
The title of the thread is misleading garbage (as so often happens here). You park airplanes when the economy is in the toilet. Park means long term storage, sometimes they come back when things get better, sometimes they don't.
These airplanes are being retired. That's what you do when they are worn out junk and you have replaced them with new ones. In this case it's even better since there's more new ones than those being parked.
