Interesting answers, thanks folks. I expected something similar.

It surprises me that the bigger companies, (which should surely have bettre economies of scale) are struggling so badly, while a new venture can come in, buy new gear, hire new staff and still undercut the experienced ones, who already have experience, and a recognised name!

Makes me wonder how much the scale is for a handling contract. If these new companies can undercut so much, how much profit were the "experienced" agents making... and if they were making so much.. why have they had so many problems in recent years.

Anyone know how the newboys like Gate are doing?

RTG!
