Why waste 5-6k per month having it under management when the pilots and a CAMO can do a good job?
Management companies are only in it to make money, even to the detriment of the owners. Shame, but that's how it works.
As long as the pilots and CAMO do a good job yes. But as long as too many aircraft owners and "flexible" and "experienced"pilots bent the rules and FTL's to do stupid stuff I think that a 5 to 20K a month management fee is a great investment. The fact that a multi million $ aircraft owner wants to short change the crew by not paying for training twice a year, not enough pilots, not having a proper schedule, not enough salary, no proper SMS, etc etc escapes me.....
Now there are management and management companies out there... I have been self managing and thought I did a great job until we were outsourced to a large Swiss outfit and found out that they did a better job.. At the same time there are some outfits out there that do not deserve your money...
