With cargo so in-demand and gas prices as low as they can go it's not that surprising to see them pushing through on plans for their own flying.
Who knows if this will keep up though. I have to think it won't in the long term if the economy just keeps tanking.

The callsign thing means nothing. It is entirely possible to fly under a callsign different than your own when you're flying somebody else's stuff.
Or a callsign that has nothing to do with what you think it is...Gotham. I believe Batman has nothing to do with that callsign.
