You don't need more planes to do redeyes...they are sitting on the ground doing nothing during that time. Some are in MX sure, but not all 700 airplanes. If WN wanted/could do redeyes now they would with the fleet they have.
Also right now they could add 500 planes and still not be able to do redeyes. Planes aren't the constraint.
