There's nothing wrong with ICUS.
Here's a thought from the other side of the fence, pay the Pilot flying ICUS $120/hr and advertise the safety benefit of two crew to your passengers.
You'll not only be doing a good service by your passengers, but you'll be helping a young Pilot in the industry.
An operator who could not afford to do that could just take the kid on without paying him if he has the extra capacity. Why not?
