The availability will be very poor, on a good day.
Dear Sir:
Your generalized statement cannot go unchallenged.
When I was on active duty, I got to see some of the contract maintenance at work.
Some was pretty good, some not so much.
As BB says, how good it is has two prime factors:
1. How well the contract was written
2. How effective the oversight is
a third factor is
3. How the funding lines on the contract and on parts were integrated into the overall support plan. Again, that varied depending upon which operation I saw and got to be supported (or badly supported) by.
