Wet-Lease is a term used in commercial aviation and called the rent (lease) of aircraft including the cockpit crew, cabin crew, maintenance and insurance of another airline. The aircraft is flying under the flight number of the tenant, who also bears the operational risk.
As a counter, there is the dry lease (Trockenmiete), which only includes the rental of the aircraft without staff. Again, the tenant assigns the number and bears the risk.
A Wetleasing Treaty may be a short-lived affair, for a single flight, if the tenant is due to cancellation of an airline's own aircraft, a short-term congestion, or even rent for a couple of flights, because a private plane needs maintenance and / or a greater number of its own Aircraft differ due to upcoming maintenance work. It can be but also be a longer-term agreement if the tenant to initiate a new destination trial basis or offer a seasonal route will.
therefore also be counted for the flights, the airline is hiring and the "tenants" created the flights in the flight plan when he simply the number of passengers or volume of cargo destined and the pilot and aircraft owner simply turns

Re: Wer Lease
To implement this feature would take too much coding for very little return. The current codeshare program accomplishes the same effect for the pilots without the complexity for the CEO's and managers.
