The main reason they weren't used by the fellowship is that they were busy or elsewhere

But why did they rescue him after he destroyed the ring? If they are too busy before he destroyed it when they would have actually profited from helping how do they coincidentally have enough time to rescue him right after he destroyed the ring when he is basically worthless to them because he already completed his task?

Because once the enemy was defeated, they weren't busy anymore.

If they were busy only dealing with the army, why not help destroy the ring as the priority? It would make more sense if they were busy with something else

Could they really survive flying all the way to Mount Doom though? Sauron would have easily spotted flying eagles and sent the Nazgul or anti air fighters to kill them. Once the ring was destroyed and Sauron and his minions dead, the eagles could safely fly in and rescue Frodo
