The wars in Afgan and Iraq where big airlift generators, a lot of that has stopped, a lot of excess wide body lift in the market. The smaller on-demand seems to be doing well.

I blocked 109 hours last month flying whales out of Afghan. I don't know where u r getting your info? The slowdown has more to do with china right now. Not Afghanastan and Iraq

Which side of the cycle are we on?
