Myself speaking I should agree with Dash-7 lover Most airlines wouldn't and shouldn't have a/c sitting around doing nothing that's alot of money in a year going down the drain, but !!! You wouldn't think Aer Lingus have one sitting on the ground but yes they do after experiancing a lenthy delay at Paris-CDG lately when a member of ground crew drove away with a pipe still attached to the A320, Air France mechanics and the Aer Lingus crew tried to fix it but after a fair bit of diologue the Air France mechanics and crew decided the a/c was not fit to fly so straight away a standby crew hoped in an A320 in EIDW and flew to CDG. So I should think that Aer Arann may have the same like Aer Lingus like SamS said and there for you're both right.
Like you displayed above.
