If you follow the Southwest model, any variant should have at least 25 aircraft. Thus when the 732 fleet fell below 25, Southwest wanted them gone. This is why FR are getting shot of their 733s ex Buzz - they don't have critical mass.

Thus if FR was to keep a "high power" fleet, that's a good estimate of the numbers required.
