a bunch of people do have more than one car, and for work that is more understandable
but for airlines to have extra planes just hanging around not in use just for a backup is unjust and just stupid, boeing and airbus have backlogs where there are more orders than planes right now, and it takes time for the planes to be made, so having a plane to basically sit and wait is just not smart while it can be in use, planes cost alot of money
dont get me wrong, cars cost alot of money too, and they can be made alot faster than planes can
yes it is a hastle and very frustrating for the plane not to be there, but due to the weather it couldnt get in the night before (or whenever it was due) there was no plane there......which id rather it be that way than for the pilots to fly through dangerous weather where many lives could be at risk (and i know and believe that pilots are very talented and skilled at their profession, but weather is one of its own, it takes no prisoner)
