This isn't quite true, depending upon what you mean by "availability". One
of the major advantages of a multi-plane club (of any sort) is the ability
to keep flying even if a plane is "down".

I actually experienced this a week or so ago. For a silly reason, the plane
I was planning to take wasn't available. Another club plane *was*
available. A quick dialog with our scheduling system via my Treo
(schedulemaster.com, which is also available via phone), a walk a few steps
down the ramp, and off I went in "the other" airplane.

If I were an owner or partner of a lone plane, I'd have had to cancel the
flight.
