Me being a previous fighter guy and now a cargo puke, I'm sort of partial.
When I was a new hire at FedEx a senior VP came in and threw some numbers on the board on a PAX flight verse a Cargo MD-11 going from Narita to Memphis.
PAX MD-11 --- $400K of revenue
Cargo MD-11 --- $3 to 5 Million in revenue
The numbers may not be exact, but the point is Boxes pay way more then screaming grumpy passengers. Additionally, we don't have to ask those crabby 65 year old flight attendants for a cup of Joe. That's what RFO's are for!
