Also overlooked is the cost of training. There is a large up-front
cost to add an additional controller that doesn't exist if you
merely extend the hours of already trained controllers - even if
those extra hours are more costly.

That is true, and probably significant, but it's a one-time cost,
not an on-going cost.

But it is a very large one time cost.



No. I think 'significant' describes it accurately enough.

A very large cost is the $3 billion per week and 3,400 soldiers' lives
Bush's vendetta is costing America, not to mention the loss of respect
for our great nation throughout the world as a result of our
president's buffoonery on the world stage.

If that's only 'a very large cost', I can't imagine what you might
consider to be "unaffordable".
