We own the sim, the building, the lights are always on, the A/C too, the instructors are on salary, the type rides are in the sim, IOE instructors are paid the same if they are on IOE or not.
About the only additional cost is a new ipad and uniforms and even those can be hand-me-downs. Subtract the $1800 in seed and HR paid for by employee pay roll deductions which the corp keeps it is about a wash.
So all of that is done for free?
Come on splert, you know it costs money to train pilots.
Yes there is a point it's a wash but after that the cost to the company can add up fast. Its one thing to have OSC working 24/7 but if we start having operational issues because of staffing or start parking planes those costs will shoot up.
