UAX will come in handy if the only available seats on other carriers are to a UAX station, when the passenger is headed for a UA hub.

Aside from that, UAX probably would have extra seats. However, I believe the "struck work" means they can't temporarily switch PHX-LAX-OAK into PHX-SFO-SEA, for example.
