No, although they sometimes also tout their Connection carrier cancellation rate also

IIRC the old EAL Shuttle advertised that if a flight oversold by even one, they would roll out a spare plane. Small loss on that flight, but big profit on revenue premium from “must get there now” HVCs.

I remember us rolling out a spare 72 when the first one filled up over at the MAT when we had the Airport Standby provision in the PWA for the Shuttle operation.
