Thanks for the input guys. Kinda confirms my thinking that there's just not a lot of difference in the actual maintenance that would push the imbedded cost from zero to $300 or $400 from one coast to another.
Like I said - knowing your audience. The airport information in the announcement is a big giveaway to me about the target market for this opportunity. I have no doubt it'll be a full trail crew, with everyone in attendance overjoyed to pay the $275 to work the MR. And that's fine by me - it's capitalism at work, no matter how you slice it or dice it, and whatever the market will bear is fair game.
I just won't be rushing to get my app in this time around. Nor am I planning to sell all my worldly possessions, give it to a charismatic cult leader, and then happily suicide before the aliens arrive. Different strokes and all that. It would be a really boring world if everyone was the same, right?
I'm with you Rogue - hard work, good times, get dirty. That's enough for me.
