KYBO - that is not what I am getting as info from a very reliable source.

KD would love to be breaking even - but are not nearly covering DOCs.

The loads have certainly come up, but the yield is not there and AN are still trying to run the yield management. Something they have shown themselves comprehensivelly inept at doing.

There is a hope for the little dude but it will need someone with very deep pockets and a symbiotic relationship with Big Brother for incarriage/oncarriage tickets. If AN insist on nailing them for a fortune for Terminal access and res system space they will shoot themselves in the foot.

Hugh - you are right. There is a lot of "ouch" factor still in the marketplace. I have found over the years that there is a 6 month memory of major upheavals. This one may take 9 to fade but will - if "deep pockets" can keep it together until then.

Best all
