There is one more factor for in-house vs. out.

The hours on the units.

If you're replacing units at proper intervals (~10,000hrs), then out-sourcing makes way more sense.

Two thirds of my fleet have over 30,000 hours, and that'd take a full-time contractor. How would that save you money? Not only that, I'm free to source out the best parts prices.

Fact of the week
Brothers Adolf ("Adi") and Rudolf ("Rudi") Dassler split their shoe company after WWII due to a bitter feud, and established the rival companies of Adidas and Puma. Their personal animosity and business rivalry divided their German hometown Herzogenaurach. The town became known as "the town of bent necks" due to the intense loyalty to each brand.
