You didn't mention the SMOH, but you're asking about overhaul costs,
so maybe it's getting close to TBO?


Partnerships.

If charged fairly, the incremental cost is not
affected by the number of partners.

Adding one partner gives the biggest percentage reduction
in fixed costs. More have continually diminishing effect.
Since the variable costs are at typically ~1/2 of the total,
working on the fixed portion doesn't help that much.

You can prove these things with a sliderule.

The hassles go up as n^3 at least. Can't prove, but know.

The optimum would seem to be 2-3 unless it's more like a club.
