Same trend at all cargo outfits?
Apparently this is happening at other cargo airlines too..
ANA cutting cargo flights to China
Japan-based All Nippon Airways (ANA) is moving cargo from its freighters to the bellyholds of its passenger fleet, while scaling back scheduled all-cargo flights in October, the airline announced. The decision mirrors an industry-wide general freight trend, as increasing bellyhold capacity exerts downward pressure on the profits of freighter operations.

This is an ACMI issue... you and Brown carry your own freight. This doesn't apply to you.
This trend has been years in the making. The ACMI model is dying. There will always be a need for odd sized freight haulers, but by and large the bread and butter customers (Korean, Ethiopian, etc etc) have found they can stuff way more freight in the bellies of their shiny new 777's than they could before so there goes the need for dedicated ACMI subcontractors.
Evergreen is gone. Suddern switched to Yellow. Kalitta and Atlas are a mix of ACMI and Yellow (and now Prime) but in a few years there will most likely be only one, maybe two airlines that specializes in widebody nose loading cargo hauling capabilities, mostly all that will be left of the ACMI model.

Actually, FedEx has been using belly freight in Asia to relieve some of the capacity bottlenecks. So, kinda does apply to us too.
