Default Cargo’s Future

I saw that the VP of Cargo Sales had a talk today at the ORD CPO. Anyone here attend? Curious what that person had to say.
Based on what PC previously wrote, this is the last month of numerous flts and that in June we’d see a slow down.
Rumors out there include UA subbing out the cargo flying to Atlas. I’ll believe that when I see all the “cargo” aircraft assigned other flying.
That’s a lot of flying. Five WBs on ramp at NRT this morning.
Thanks 😎

At normal prices, you’re right. The ACMI companies will kill us on cost. For a passenger flight already heading somewhere, cargo is a great additional source of revenue.

Nearly $500 Million in annual cargo revenue would disprove that theory. I know it was a joke. I remember hearing that when UAL got rid of the DC10 Anchorage cargo operation.

UPS just reported their highest revenue in company history, a measly 23 Billion in 3 months! Obv that’s not all from their airline but still to think the pie isn’t big enough for us too is ridiculous. Let’s buy 20x Airbus a320/321 freighters and dip our toes in the water with domestic cargo!
