Too many variable, it isn't exactly an apple to apple comparison.
I suspect the total seat count are similar if not higher.
In 2019, there were a lot of smaller planes, e.g. A319, E190 in the mainline, classic Dash and CRJ-200 at Jazz.
E190 and A319 have been replaced by A220, more A320 and A321 were added, they offer significantly more seats.
Widebody wise, the additional A330 and 787-10 are both larger than the 767.
Routes are a lot more concentrated, a lot of routes never came back post covid.
