Two comments:
1.) Anyone who didn't think the long announced 2014 pullout of Afghanistan wasn't going to reduce cargo traffic is a moron. I'm sure there was hope for a huge "retrograde" of gear back to the states but previous experience shows a preference just to leave things there.
2.) I find it awesomely curious that SAI "had to make "above-market" lease payments on its fleet of Boeing cargo jets. The company said it will use its bankruptcy case to renegotiate its lease agreements" since the 777's are leased from another Oak Hill operation....and that the $25mil load was also from Oak Hill. Smells like a dead fish there.
Best of luck to everyone...I enjoyed the vast majority of the folks I flew with there...the company, not so much.
