Well, I reckon if "GSS" got going again it wont be flying nice new -8's, more likely 20+ year old dirty knackered -400's that nobody else wants, to destinations you'll need your vaccination book up to date for, staying in hotels with "maps of treasure island " on the mattress, cigarette burns on the carpet and bedbugs at no extra charge. Maybe even brown water too you lucky things. The business model of small independent cargo airlines in the UK doesn't work, it has not worked for 25 years. The "flag of convenience" fly by night types had it good for quite a while but they have been stamped on now. The smaller companies need to "tie up" with a bigger player to even exist, and we see how that ends... the subcontractor is terminated when demand falls off or a better deal is sourced elsewhere, all's fair in love and war....and business.
