True, seems things are lining up real fast to give folks the opportunity to retrain to the large cargo platforms as we distance ourselves from the low profit margin areas. Just me, but this is a good idea to chase and hold down the highest paying contracts with our high $ money makers and not have our folks subjected to the well known whipsaw entities controlling the ever so thin purse strings. Projected eight large aircraft added this year with more to follow is the focus. Let our sales department loose along with the procurement division and go forth and conquer. Hopefully we'll start hiring earlier than next summer as we still have plenty of folks leaving.
