my thinking is that
(1) tires leaked air. period. so hopefully, by the time you needed the spare,
    it still had at least the required pressure still in it. hence, the need
    to check the spare BEFORE the trip. :)
(2) unless you have an air pump (and you ALL should have one in your bus!),
    it's a whole lot easier to bleed air FROM the spare than it was to blow
    air back INTO it! :)


leastwise, that's what i figured out in my own little brain.
