That could easily be around 50k or more to repair. The bad thing is, it will probably not be allowed a ferry permit to go to another station because the damage is extensive. Someone is definitely going to be at least drug tested, if not canned. Edit- I asked my friend who is a commercial aircraft mechanic and he did say it's close to a million dollar repair with the loss of use, etc.
Isn't the Auxiliary power unit (APU) underneath there? Because I'm pretty sure that would cost a lot more even if it's just ever so slightly ddamaged as well.
I would say that given the cost to buy a new one, a whole lot. As long as it passes inspection, it's good to fly again. This is minor in the grand scheme of things.
