Is on demand cargo dead?

[Way2Broke]

Thread drift, but here it goes.

What difference does it make if the plane is carrying cargo or pax. What I mean by this is, the plane is occupying the same airspace as the pax planes.

I don't think we will see a wide application of unmanned aircraft anytime in the near future. Now remotely controlled aircraft with a operator at a station is a completely different thing. But that isn't really unmanned is it?

I know one thing is for sure, you will never see me in a plane without a pilot up front. All you have to do is look at the line of people getting their computers fixed at best buy every day to know why that is.

I saw a Challenger freighter in Juarez, Mx the other day. It didn't appear to have a door mod, but all the covered-over pax windows were visible. The paint was new with Mexican registration. I guess its running bank paper. I'll try to get a picture.

auto parts and one trip was for DHL.

My company has done one auto part trip all month. 253 hours last year for me. It's gotta pick up sooner or later, I don't think the auto industry can survive without on-demand cargo to handle supply issues. Obama better pay up!
