Deccan Air Cargo

Just finished reading a rather lengthy interview of Capt. Gopinath as to why Deccan Air was sold to Kingfisher. He put's the blame or atleast the vast majority of it on the door steps of Indigo Air. But the interesting point was that he did not mention anything about his up and coming cargo airline. I was also surprised that they (Deccan Cargo) opted to bring on A-310 which they are converting at an enormous cost. There are so many freighters out here in the US that probably will be able to get this venture up and running a lot faster. I would think with India being a old Boeing customer that B-737/ 727 would be a better choice especially when it comes to cheaper ground handling, crew availability, mechanics etc. Just my 2 cents.
