What is the offset expense of maintaining and operating the 136 aging

- Fewer aircrews (5 people x 100k/year x10 years + 5m training cost + 2
crews per airframe) = 30 Million$ for each kc-135 eliminated ~$1.08
Billion
savings in aircrew alone. 136 vs 100.

I'm very out of date on KC-135's, but in my time, there were 4 crew
members and it took 6 crews to hold down and aircraft.

In more recent times, there were 2 or 3 crew on a B-767 and if you add a
boomer, you are back up to 4, but it still takes 6 crews to hold down an
aircraft.

But, that's also why Boeing is going down the tubes.

What are you gibbering about?

Since nobody but Boeing or the Military understand
the words "Standby".

You might want to contact some fire fighters.
