Exactly. Had a class in Air Cargo in college. The professor used the example that it was better to ship BIC pens by air ($1 apiece then) than coal by the ton.
Also, I was told by FEDEX buddy that if they can fill the belly of a 727 with envelopes then everything on the main deck was profit. But then again, there is no money cargo.
