If the planes only require maintenance taking out a few seats to get to 65, then that's a lot easier.

The problem is that when you reduce the seat count the aircraft are no longer economically viable. Management has used this playbook many times in the past. Either they get the unions to agree to putting the seats back in or the airframes quietly go away in a few years.
