Not really when the competition in their geographical market are operating the same or similar, not to mention that these company's go out allmost allways at max gross weight are spend alot of time at fuel saving altitude.

Ahh, the old century air cargo did this, like clockwork. CAC being a company that had 707"s and 757's, then DC10-40's as well operating out of miami is now UPS. minus everything but the 752's.

Now, now Muduckace,
It's Centurion and they operate MD11's. The DC10-40's were returned some time ago. The DC10-30's have been dispersed into other holding airlines. CAC is mopping up the MIA-South American market, a thing that Arrow could have done, given the backing of the hedge fund that bought them, but as appears to be the norm throughout Arrow's history - Ego's won the day!!

So what the hell is new? I worked for Arrow when it was part of the George Batchelor empire some 25 years ago.
Arrow has died and been resurrected at least 5 times since then. No doubt somebody makes money every time it happens!
