The difference is that you have people who can deliver them to every home in the lower 48 and most countries ($$$value$$$) We can only drop the boxes off at the airport. There are about ~200 121 cargo ops who can get from LAX to wherever without crashing, so the revenue from pure freight ops isn't too good.. Just my understanding of it.
