Most places in the USA have fully burdened labor costs of at least
$50/hours. For five days this is $2,000. For 300 employees, this is
$600,000 which isn't chump change.


Agreed. That's about the price of twenty SR22s. Customers get a five
day delivery delay, and Columbia gets half a ~$million. Smooth.

Following that line of thinking, if they laid off 300 people for a week
once a month, Columbia would collect enough in a year to make those 20
SR22s at 100% pure profit. OTOH, I'd buy an SR22 for $30k any day...

Somehow, I doubt it would work out that way. ;-)
