Copy of a post I made on iHub responding to a question about operating cost margin:
I would imagine $TMPS will be paid in exactly the same way as Omega on their "on call" contract - per flying hour of the tanker.
The fuel will be uplifted at the bases mentioned in the contract and the owning unit of the receiver aircraft pays with the equivalent of a military credit card - in the same way they would as if being refueled on the ground at a detachment base.
For their bid to the USN, $TMPS would obviously have worked out their overheads per flying hour and marked up for a suitable margin that works for them - they do of course have many other multi-year, multi-$M DoD special mission aircraft contracts:
- Crew - by the day + transport expenses to get to / from the tanker base [assuming they will have a similar system to Omega where the crew can live anywhere and commute to the aircraft for a rostered standby period - expenses paid - when the aircraft is needed].
- Maintenance per flying hour.
- Detachment base charges - handling agent loan of ground equipment, landing fees etc.
They obviously know what crew expect to get paid and the RAF will have a well-documented history of Tristar maintenance costs.
