Seems like the heavier aircraft would be prime for the increase in Mexico runs that has occurred as US plants shut down for the sake of southern outsourcing. My Mexico Requests have went through the roof.
As for freight demand running low... There was a time when Berry, Packwest and Corporate stayed in their respective regions. These guys appear to be going more national work (to make ends meet???) Hearing more and more berry and packwest callsigns over the radios here east of the Mississippi than I used to. It is telling, however, I would bank on the heavier aircraft being busier with the longer and heavier legs from the south. not scaling back.
Active Aero did run me hard for a month to get my insurance certificate in so that I could continue to do work for them. I haven't bid on any work in over a year, but would expect they may be resigning into more of a broker role than they used to be.
I was on the West Coast when Healy went down out there. Not a real popular guy. I don't know where he would go from MI, or what Governing Board in there right mind would hire him. That Parachute better be pretty darn golden.
Any case, hopefully you can jettison the dead weight before it is too, late. Good luck guys.
