Where do you think the maintenance fees come from? That's in part a safety cost.

Keep in mind, if you compromise maintenance for costs, you'll make up the costs in crew wages as they obviously have 1-2 orders of magnitude more risk exposure than the average passenger and won't be willing to fly for anything less than massive hazard pay.

Scheduled maintenance is done with semi slave labor in the 3rd world. Routine is more expense local labor but the routine stuff can’t be deferred anyway

"this isn't enough fuel to get more than 80% of the way there!"

"you don't need fuel for the descent though"
