“On possible airline-compensation costs arising from Friday's accident, Citi analyst Jason Gursky estimated a daily cost of $2.3 million to Boeing, using RTX's (RTX.N) recent engine issues as a template for calculation.”


If you figure Alaska has half of the Max 9s in the skies, that’s about $1.15m a day to Alaska. 115 flights a day is probably about 1500 hours at 13 hours of flight time a day. 1500 hours and top of scale captain, FO and FA pay equates to about $1.14m a day in crew cost alone.
