Hours on the airframe, and who pays for them. Sell flying hours against a maintenance clock that never stops.

A charter operator sells hours, and every hour flown pulls the airframe closer to an inspection that costs more than a month of work. The contracts are the business: an offshore run, an air ambulance, a survey job or a corporate account, each wanting a machine available on a morning you cannot predict. When an airworthiness directive lands on your type you lose the aircraft and still owe the customer the service.
