After the collapse of Cargo Lion just recently, it seems that another one bites the dust. According to newspapers dutch A300 cargo airline Schreiner Air Cargo will cease all operations with it's freighters. The dutch labour union CNV said up to seventy people could be looking at unemployment, forty flightcrew and thirty ground crew.
It seems Farnair, who are flying for DHL, are in dire straits as well...
And they say Cargo is booming... http://www.pprune.org/ubb/NonCGI/frown.gif

That is true, the market is growing.... over the next 20 years that is!
Right now the market is flat! The US economy struggles are shadowing the market big time.

Too right H58. Expected to be so for the next 3 months or so. I hear Atlas have 12 747s sitting on the ground.

In the states there are about 250 (I'm one of them)cargocrewmembers walking the streets from Express 1, Kitty Hawk, ATI, Capitol, Amerijet and I probably forgot one or two.
Yes there has been furloughs, but at least Amerijet has called everybody they could get a hold of back.
