Market forces at work especially on the 747. There is serious cargo revenue at stake here. Loosely interpreting the numbers in the announcement, profit on cargo flying is $500 million to $1 billion per month. If the weak link is pilot availability (reduced through quarantine needs) then they need to seriously incentivize 747 pilots. I’m thinking minimum of double our old Cos08 pay for the period of time this need exists (including the hotel and home time). Seems like a lot but not so long ago the 777 princesses were hauling that amount in on a regular basis for just doing 4 super cushy long hauls in a month.
