Yes, I agree with CR2.

I've never seen so many charters in September as right now. Think about it, there are so many factories in the world that need their supplies 'just in time'. The stuff has to move and the backlog of a week or more of 'no belly' is enromous. Someone once told me that each day missing in the bellies was one full week of operations for the freighters, just to take the backlog away.

SO for the next few months, we live close to paradise. But will that be sufficient for January? I have some doubts.
