I would imagine it is a little more complex than that. AQ uses the really old outdated (but still "legal" for HA/AK use) Stage II B737-200s in interisland use. I doubt is many of the spare parts for it would be useable in their nice newer modern B737-700s especially the instrumention and engine thingees.
