So 48 of the 57 are at most 24 years old. 84% of them have at least a decade of life left in them, and every single one is getting CPDLC, Wx Radars, new FMS, Screens, and more. That hardware has been bought, paid for, and delivered. It's siting in crates in Tech Ops today.

319's ain't going anywhere for the foreseeable future. Full stop. And waaaaaaaay newer than almost the entire 75 fleet, the oldest of which is a 1990 delivery (as of my last check, which may be superseded recently).
MAX 8 s Cary more than the 319 it comes down to spreadsheets.

As I said expect the lions share of the SAQ flying to be on a MAX 8. I never said the 319 will stop doing this.
