It really does seem to be quite variable with regard to frequency of swapping aircraft. Some bases seem to be constantly swapping whilst others seem to almost never swap. I remember an aircraft was based at DSA for over eight months straight last year...
I was always under the impression that LTN was the mainitenace based and that the aim of swapping was to eventually get the aircraft into LTN. I’m not sure if this is actually the case though.
