Comment Comment by topher515 Not a flight buff, but...- Jet fuel from NYC to LAX seems to cost ~$10k.[1]- You pay a pilot $50 / hour salary. (+100% more with benefits?)[2]- Double all of that for a bunch of random things I can't think of (airport fees?)My napkin math seems to indicate this couldn't possibly cost Boeing more than $10-20k? Pretty small potatoes to such a large company.[1] https://simpleflying.com/commercial-airliner-fuel-cost/ [2] https://www.ziprecruiter.com/Salaries/Commercial-Pilot-Salar... parent topher515 3 years ago
