We have pilot and rearcrew instructors on each flight, a squadron trg team for assessment and a SARF standards unit for checking the overall effectiveness on the ground and in the air.

"and that is probably why you will never be cost effective. In the big, grown-up world, professional avaitors are expected to survive on one base check and one line check a year. "

Looking at the comparative usage as opposed to overall frame hours, the services appear to be consuming at a higher rate. If this is the case, it goes someway to explaining why you believe the cabs are overmaintained.

At a higher usage rate, you will pay the penalty of additional increased routine maintenance, hence more rects manhours per fg hr. To ascertain if your aircraft have a higher maintenance penalty you have to conduct your estimates on a comparative usage case.
