    Depressing, on the other hand higher sea rates might help air cargo 🙂
    Seems nothing has changed since I joined the industry back in the sixties- the topic is always the same – how to improve ever declining yields.
    They won't as long as carriers do not measure net contribution vs gross – never mind those combination carriers who just measure tonnage.
    I suspect many do not have a clue what their net income from cargo actually is. nothing changes looking on the bright side – they provide work for the unemployed 🙂
