Well you never hear much about Freighters because they're not "sexy" or "newsworthy" enough. How many serious accidents do you ever hear about on CNN/BBC etc etc. Very few. Why? because there are only a couple of crewmembers on board (ok maybe a courier on the odd occasion). If a pax aircraft does something like an RTO, the news is full of it.. .The cargo market is doing fine right now. As you said, Sept 11 didn't scare the freight. We have been affected by a general economic slowdown, though this was already evident at the beginning of last year. Low yields/overcapacity/high fuel prices mixed with the aforementioned slowdown created problems for some. We made a profit last year, which is better than many can say.. .Right now things are improving. We've had the post Christmas lull, Chinese New Year has also passed. Our company for one is flying full.. .rgds
