Other readers: remember just a couple months ago K4 had plans for parking/scrapping 400's and it was looking like a slow/tight/lean year. The passenger widebody mass parkings are artificially making the freight industry look good. I don't think a whole lot of hiring will take place this year. I think this year is pretty well known. If you fly boxes you are safe for the year, manufacturing supply chains are broken and pieces are not in the correct spot. Global recession possibility makes next year the real question mark. Those of us lucky enough to be at K4 hopefully feel as grateful as I do but we shouldn't think we are in the clear of this global event.

No doubt we are in unprecedented times but you have to look around and know how your company is structured.
Connie owns the chairs, the pencils, the engines, the OSC airport, and most importantly almost all the aircraft. So yes things may get tight in then next few years but the competition will have a far more difficult time than Connie Kalitta.
No disrespect to the Majors, The LCCs, and the ULCCs but I'd much rather be at this ACMI than the others...
I'm feel pretty good about Kalittas position...
