  Purchase price? I didn't think the purchase price had to be payed at all,
just the 10% of purchase price cost which pays the purchase (but spread out
during several years) and maintainance. So you should compare the salary to
10% of the purchase price and not 100% of it. This would make the fleed shrink
by 10 to 30% for TL15 and more at lower TL's where larger crews are needed.
