I think one needs to be reaslistic that in the current financial climate all airlines, especially cargo ones, are suffering. Even the top guys such as Cargolux are grounding aircraft, so what chance does MK really have flying old -200F's and flying almost exclusively for Panalpina and the odd flight for TAAG. MK don't offer any scheduled cargo services in their own right and if they lost the Panalpina business they would be dead in the water tomorrow. There is too much cargo capacity chasing too little business and the likes of CV,MP,EK will survive this downturn but MK needs to change their business model if they want to have any chance of survival, however much money is thrown at it. I do feel sorry for all the staff and crew who have been loyal throughout and with very little reward for this loyalty so far.
