Should either of the aircraft go tech or be grossly delayed inbound it is obviously better to scrub the one to the destination where pax can be served by the later flight, and put the remaining good aircraft on the destination where there is no alternative.)
That didn't happen to me, I was on the only flight by FlyBe from SOU to LPL and they cancelled it and put us on the MAN flight which had a later flight that day! They bussed us and the pax on the return flight to MAN.
