Has "Cash For Clunkers" Helped the On-Demand World Yet?

[cherry20's]

Just wondering if you think this will jump start the on-demand cargo flying, or has it already?

I have a feeling this could help an industry in dire need. Hope it does for all my fellow freight dogs out there!!! Good luck guys!

I'm wondering the same thing. Something is working, we are moving tons of auto freight lately.

What about cash for Falcon 20 Clunkers? $4500 should really help that market! Talk about a gas guzzler! LOL

With what would they replace the DA-20?

It will happen the day a crj sells for less than 2mil.

Who cares how many plants Toyota(etc) has here???

The MONEY still goes overseas, which is part of the problem. The Japanese have the average US customer(as in dumbass) duped into thinking they aren't hurting our economy by providing a few token(as in underpaid, non-union) jobs. Meanwhile, they've drastically cut their shipping expenses by building cars here.

5 measly plants does not come close to mitigating the damage done to the US auto industry by their unfair practices. In case you missed it...the US auto industry is a big part of our economic backbone.

Not out of a job yet? Buy another Toyota and you will be soon.
