New era for USA Jet

[iaflyer]

There was risk involved. So we stayed with the sure thing on-demand cargo. We were never going to fly pax, we were never going to do public charter, so maybe saying we were never gioing to do int'l widebody might be a good thing.

Sure - of course there is risk involved in new business ventures - but with risk comes reward. Apparently the company preferred to shrink than take risks and expand into other markets back then - but now look how that risk has paid off.

Life is about risk versus reward.

Ain't that the truth

No, but it's a great metaphor. In case you are unfamiliar....

Metaphor (from the Greek: μεταφορά - metaphora, "a transfer", in rhetoric "transference of a word to a new sense", from μεταφέρω - metaphero, "to carry over, to transfer") is language that directly compares seemingly unrelated subjects. In the simplest case, this takes the form: "The [first subject] is a [second subject]." More generally, a metaphor is a rhetorical trope that describes a first subject as being or equal to a second subject in some way. Thus, the first subject can be economically described because implicit and explicit attributes from the second subject are used to enhance the description of the first.

It's an analogy, an irrelavant one at that.

Back to the point

With big risks come big rewards and USA Jet be in a prime position to succeed. Which is a good thing...

Someone asked that at a pilot meeting in 2003 - the response from RM was "that's not our market - on demand freight is our market". Meanwhile, Connnie went from 2 airplanes to 20 and now the 747-400s.

I was at that meeting, the guy who asked the question and I are pretty close, so I know he did not want to "press to test" RM.

While a great reward requires a great risk, a great risk does not equal a great reward. ATI didn't quite work out for JUS.
