Is there a build out this year?

[Peter Gibbons]

Is there or is there going to be a build out? Just wondering because it seems as if there isn't one this year. Everything is still slow. Anyone heard anything or have any information?

Sorry for replying to your post with a dumb question, but in the context of cargo ops, what's a build out?

end of the model year

The auto plants go down for the first two weeks of July for model year change over, stop building 2003’s and start on 2004’s. So June is a build out month. Typically fly in the last of the old parts and the first of the new parts. Normally see it start in the last week of May, but it did not happen this year, hopping June is not the same. There is alot of inventory sitting on the dealership lots out there waiting to be sold and the auto companies may not want to do a build out, because they might not sell them. Ask me again at the end of June.
