I think the issue is also lack of airframes.

even a short rotation still needs the a/c for a good 5+ hours and not sure many are not in use (or having service etc) that would allow such swaps.

I am sure they have used larger a/c in strike / weather situations (where lack of planes wasn't an issue).
