you have no concept of economies of scale or business 101. Do you have any idea the costs of having extra planes, large ones for the matter, to operate for stand by purposes? You have to pay the Captain, the Second Officer, Flight Attendants, Hanger space, Ground Crew to prepare, Fuel, and the extra dispatcher to give the air craft the ok to go out.
