Yeah the cost for paperwork and administration in aviation is over 50%.

This is an extraordinary claim. Obviously some of the prior costs are due to paperwork, but really?

That doesn't break it down in the same way - what percentage of "labor" is "administrative overhead" for example.

Everyone has to do paperwork, but is that 'admin overhead' it an essential part of safety culture? I'm struggling to see where the overhead is that significant.

It is a lot more obvious in other fields -- medicine and highly regulated/litigious professions.
