Those 700s were lease returns. I actually flew one of the former AS ones a few weeks ago on a WN flight.

I don't think AS knows what their long term strategy is. Angle Lake seems a little discombobulated recently. They haven't made many adjustments to routes in more than two or three months and it seems there isn't any direction. They said the plan for 2019 was to grow at 2% but haven't issued anything further than a vague "4-6%" growth down the line.
