Why are jet streams more prevalent on certain days when the actual flight schedules remain constant?

What you really want to know is: Why do the flights always take the same time
to cover the route even though the jet streams change ?
The answer is that commercial passenger aircraft are not always flying flat out,
pedal to the metal, spheres to the wall, as fast as they can. They slow down, get
in line, wait their turn, and regulate their speed along the way in such a way as to
keep their place in the huge pattern that is modern air transportation. The average
jet stream is figured in when the schedules are written, and the aircraft can easily
add some more throttle, or back off some, to compensate for whatever the actual
jet-stream is doing today, in order to stay on schedule.

How does a river's velocity affect its competence and capacity?
the competence and capacity of a steam depend on a streams velocity and discharge. Because the velocity and discharge of a given stream are not constant , the competence and capacity of a stream are not constant . competence and capacity vary along a stream and change throughout the year.
