Jump to postFrom experience, North American airlines operate with low single digit operational spare ratios, say 2 - 4% on average. At U/LCCs that will generally skew lower, at legacies it will skew higher. The smaller the fleet and the larger the operational complexity, the larger the spare ratio necessary to ...

Tentative allocations:
AA: DFW (1x), LAX
DL: SEA, DTW, ATL, PDX, HNL (1x)
HA: HNL (1x)
UA: EWR, ORD, IAD, LAX
SEA-OGG/HNL and LAX-HNL are your best bets. SEA and LAX are where HA has the "heavier" light maintenance done on the 330s, so not likely to get downgauged, even in event of operational issues. In the midterm, neither PHX nor LAS have seen any operational downgauges to A321, so they're also...
