通常，航空公司不会仅仅出于预防考虑，就有意为较短航程的航班配备备用飞行机组，因为支付两组飞行员的费用十分昂贵。不过，飞行员经常搭乘并非由自己执飞的航班，前往下一项任务所在地；业内将这种做法称为“调位飞行”。
For the most part, airlines do not intentionally staff shorter flights with a backup flight crew simply as a precaution, because paying two sets of pilots is expensive. However, pilots routinely hitch rides on flights they are not operating – a practice known in the industry as “deadheading” – to position themselves where they are needed next.
