aircraft carrier deployment

I'm designing a scenario that has two aircraft carriers available in reserve. Is there a way to set it so that they have their accompanying aircraft automatically in their cargo slots when they enter as reinforcements? I can see how to do that with carriers that begin the game on the map, but not for carriers that start in reserve.

Erik (my fellow forum moderator), I am deferring to you on this one since you have more experience with carriers in your Pacific campaigns. I took a quick look but I don't think that there is a way to deploy a loaded carrier from reserve, or even to spawn one as an alternative.

No, I've tried to accomplish this in the past, but no luck.

Wasn't there a scen in the US Pacific doing this? The carrier Lexington I believe. If some campaign variable wasn't met, it arrives a few turns later into the mission. But I'm not absolutely sure that the accompanying aircraft were landed.
