Temporarily, they cycle them in and out, as pointed out most likely to do with maintenance schedules. Given the fleet size I wouldn't be surprised if they've also got a shortage of maintenance capacity so they schedule the aircraft that get placed in storage based on the next 3 months maintenance schedule so optimize capacity
