Due to the lack of interest from suitable candidates Cargolux has massively lowered the entry requirements and is now actively poaching the GA sector.
There are plenty of guys out there who perceive it as a great career move to step from a Citation jet directly to a B747-400/-8.
And this without losing money.
I would not call these guys stupid.
The articles mentioned above are spot on.
6 day trip sample:
LUX-BAH-MCT(14:45)TPE(14:00)HKG(24:10)ANC(17:30)ORD(16:05)LUX
31:15 block total
Early departure, late arrival in LUX.
Time in brackets is layover.
