Some may disagree with that, but certainly those guys could have found aircraft elsewhere if CAM didn't want to lease to them.
You're likely right about the rest, though. Those who do not actively follow the aircraft leasing business are probably not aware of the competitors to CAM that could just as easily have provided those aircraft and there may be a perception that cargo-converted 767s are a scarce resource that could be controlled to the benefit of those who have them. ABX has lost flying that probably could have been retained if ABX had another -300. (The story seems to be that a -300 was pulled from Atlanta to provide additional capacity for Panama, and Atlanta was given to somebody else. Those of us who would like to spend less time on reserve would prefer if we could keep all of the flying we already had, especially when the resources to do that are available, if only they weren't being given to our competitors, and it's frustrating that there seems to be no effort on the part of the company to keep that from happening again.) The current situation at ABX, shrinking while others are growing and months passing without a contract, doesn't help. Taxiing past all of those newly-painted CAM-leased -300s in Miami just grinds the gears a little bit.
