I always like to see an STC for a new cargo aircraft but wonder about marketability. Other than the aircraft being extremely inexpensive to buy upfront. I had wondered about all of the B717's hitting the bone yard, I know a few start up pax operators have picked some up. They are shorter but much more fuel efficient to operate, I think of the possibility of a package carrier picking up more business in lower demand markets being able to operate at capacity.
