UA owns the planes, engines and provides the fuel, so the only expense is paying the crews to move the airplanes. Hardly a significant amount of money.Originally Posted by AerChungus
I'd imagine the bigger challenge is not having having a Denver base and not flying to LNK from IAH either. Now instead of United paying C5 to operate a revenue flight to LNK, C5 would have to fly an empty plane, at their own expense. Probably cheaper at that point to just shift as much work to ALB as possible and do the occasional overflow work in YQB
