I believe that on average the same 2-3 Tristars serve the airbridge over a week or so, as a result of deep servicing, long term u/s etc. They are turned as soon as they land, either to serve as a spare or to go on the next flight, therefore any delay in getting them back to home base is likely to be very detrimental to the next guys going out.
