What this shows is that once annual utilization gets to about 200 hrs/year,
the per hour costs tend to flatten out. That's why I prefer my co-ownership
arrangement. Diff'rent strokes, as they say.
I agree with your analysis, you are lucky to have a partnership that
works well for you. I did mention in my analysis that as club drawback
is that, unlike ownership, club flying does not get cheaper as the hours
increase. On the flip side, if I don't fly much in a month I don't
spend much, so I can control my expenses almost directly by how much I
fly, whereas with ownership the fixed costs are higher.
