Maybe someone who works for an airline can explain this to me. Most other industries that rely on a piece of equipment to function, have backups on standby. The number of backups is a function of the failure rate of that specific piece of equipment. So let’s say you are a trucking company, and you know from experience that one out of twenty trucks on average will go down in a given week for some repair issue but it’s in your company’s best interest to keep the freight moving on time. So you have 5% of your fleet on standby across your shipping route to keep your business functioning. It doesn’t seem like airlines do this, or they do it very poorly and don’t seem to have any incentive to improve. What gives??
