Thanks for an intelligent reply

Yes, Vs1711, you are right on target. Never-the-less, I think there is a good opportunity here considering the fact that air cargo is forecast to expand at an exponential rate over the next decade. This is particularly true of the Asian sector.

For someone who wants to make a direct entry into the air cargo business, here is a company that is an ongoing concern with contracts in place and an existing income stream. This short circuits two years worth of start up hassle for a new operator. And trying to find cargo 747 aircraft over the next couple of years will become more and more difficult. We already have a fleet, albeit leased.

The key, as I think we both agree, is a good and efficient management team. All the infrastructure to fly and maintain the aircraft is already in place at Air Atlanta. There is new management already put in place over the last few months but I don't know if they have had a chance to make the required changes.

Anyway, it is nice to read a post like yours.
