Operating Cost CRJ-200

Phoenix advertises $5,000/hour, of which $2,000 are direct costs, in a charter configuration.
 
Airlineempires.net used to break down the DOT forms airlines submitted. IIRC around $2k/hr is a good estimate with the current price of fuel.

It's interesting because you could see the various ways different FFD airlines were paid and/or operated. Example, one airline might lease its engines so have no engine mx costs where as another one owned their engines and as such had a high engine mx costs (comparatively). Some reported fuel price with market rates some reported no fuel costs or something like $0.25/gal. Crew costs were delineated out, IIRC around $200/hr was the average-ish, the swing from high to low was maybe $50-$60/hr on the same equipment.

The latter is a very, very low estimate that probably doesn't include the cost of any benefits at all. The former sounds marginally more reasonable.

(A rule of thumb I've heard repeatedly is take someone's pay and multiply by 1.4, you'll get the 'full cost' of employment.)

Company I used to be part owner of the number was 1.55. GREAT benefits from day 1.
 
My wife just accepted a new job that is 100% paid medical for her and 95% for me, and they are only offering a $3,000 credit (yearly) to decline the insurance. I thought that has BS, I bet they are saving $10k. That will cover our insurance premium thru my company but still seemed really stingy.

I would agree. That might be a quarterly savings to them.

Anyone look at EAS Contracting lately?
