Exactly, multiples of nothing are still nothing. That's a fact that seems to elude you..
Except 189k isn't nothing.

Who's going to ride in them?
The same people who are currently riding in those 30 year old A320s AC has.

Might as well be because it ain't going to do it wrt supporting the current fleet, let alone more aircraft acquisitions.

Travel up 220% sounds good, but it's up from such a low number that gains of that amount are insignificant. It is more accurate to say travel is still down over 90% if you want to express the real picture.

Those 320’s will service the network for a while as the 220’s get delayed. Why spend millions on new aircraft when every dollar counts and you can keep old tails and run them. There is a reason why post 9/11 airlines weren’t buying new tails.

Nice late edit...

That's it though... there aren't really any people currently riding in those 320s, in fact most of them are parked. They aren't all 30 years old either...

On top of that, there are a swath of new 737s sitting on the side right now ready to go. They not don't need the 220s and 737s not yet delivered, they can't fill them, they can't afford to park them.
. I'm not so sure why that's hard to grasp.
