This flow doesn't lend itself to last minute changes which invaribly are needs at other airports
I know many airlines would park inefficient jets in hangers in perfect safety conditings that are capable to subtitude any missions in their hubs that their efficient and primary jets can't support to due to delay/plane out-of service etc.
