- loeg 4y agoWhere do you think the maintenance fees come from? That's in part a safety cost.
- jhugo 4y agoFuel as well!
- edrxty 4y ago"this isn't enough fuel to get more than 80% of the way there!" "you don't need fuel for the descent though"
- edrxty 4y agoKeep in mind, if you compromise maintenance for costs, you'll make up the costs in crew wages as they obviously have 1-2 orders of magnitude more risk exposure than the average passenger and won't be willing to fly for anything less than massive hazard pay.
- rdtwo 4y agoScheduled maintenance is done with semi slave labor in the 3rd world. Routine is more expense local labor but the routine stuff can’t be deferred anyway
