Depends. Is that coming from Sitka? Juneau? Nome?

There are places we provide service where we can’t operate trunk airplane profitably.

Look at how many domestic flights we operate from US airlines hubs to sort facilities.

CDG/CAN operations and international flights that don’t start/terminate in the US.is a more realistic threat.

I disagree. The real threat is anywhere that a full size cargo dedicated jet is being used and not flown by MSL pilots. If a 737 is a more appropriate type than a 757 then buy them and we will fly them. We should be the sole provider of pilot services to the corporation when it comes to dedicated freighter lift.

I can get on board with this.

That may only be one container.

If it’s one container then so be it. There should be some type of codified tracking system and limits on daily or weekly outsourcing based on the number of containers, tonnage, or some other verification method. This trigger limit would force flying back to MSL and trunk aircraft when limits are reached.
