Just a naive question, would having 10 planes not also make personnel way more expensive - you’d need 20 pilots instead of 2?

OTOH, security costs and airport fees could be cut I guess?

Also wondering this. A pilot’s salary divided 10 or 20 ways sounds like a lot to me.

A small propeller pilot costs a lot less to train than a commercial jet pilot. Quick search on hourly pilot wage: 30$ vs 200$ per hour
