First of all, they have to have some sort of maintenance set up. In Atlanta It's probably another airline who is contracted. An airplane is not required to have a maintenance check every night. The requirement is every other night. It's called an N check. So what they would do in this case, is each night they would make sure the aircraft routed to ATL for the night is not one that will require an N check.

As to the part about walk arounds, are you seriously going to try to tell us that sit and watch every second that a Spirit aircraft is on the ground? Or is it more the case that you just don't see it every time.
