The size of an airline is not simply # of tails in their fleet. ExpressJet is not a bigger airline than Emirates
If 777HD are new, Q400s are new, bigger 788/789 replace 763, of which many are moved to Rouge, 9-MAX fleet will be much bigger than current A321.
There's a lot of seats to fill in the years ahead
What aircraft are leaving the fleet? I dont know. A dozen 319 and 763? 20 E90s in the Boeing deal? Any others? Maybe some CR2
AC's Canadian competitors are also adding seats ... I dont get it
