Floating the fleet does help. But other problems do arise. But what I'm trying to get at is the low quotes some of these organizations are able to give out. How are they covering aircraft finances, direct operating costs, fuel, crew fee's, and airport fees. Also you have to factor in some small amount for repositions. That being not all trips go out of the same airfield the aircraft are located at. I've ran the numbers for the aircraft I operate and can only go down 25% before we run into red ink. Some of the companies are running 50% below our rates. Any other idea's on how their able to offer such low prices and still cover expenses?
