That is the biggest amount of academic bull**** that I've heard in my 40 years in the industry. Only the Lufthansa Cost Method was as ridiculous.
AIRLINES DON'T HAVE "METHODS" THEY HAVE CASH IN AND CASH OUT.
Bearcat F8F: Concentrate on cash, cash, cash, not formulae. Cash in vs cash out is what matters. Forget classic DOC methods which include depreciation. Depreciation is not a cost. That's just accountant's mumbo-jumbo. Think about what you could take to the bank (or out). If the changes don't pay off in a year or two your airline could be bust.
Stallfail: what the fuk has cabin crew cost got to do with the problem in hand? Bearcat has to concentrate on the changes, not worry about what stays the same. Luckily academics don't run airlines. At least not successful ones.
P.S. Bearcat: JUST CONCENTRATE ON WHICH COSTS CHANGE, BEFORE vs AFTER. DON'T TRY TO LIST ALL DOC ITEMS. ITS POINTLESS.
You've been given a task unrelated to the real world. You have to do it, but remember the tosser's name for future reference!
