Air Fright Resumption! - gtill - 05-01-2008
Looks like Aloha Air Cargo has been bought out and is to restart services immediately!
However it is being bought by YB's parent company, Saltchuk Co. Now their monopoly is even more complete! They did so at the behest of Inouye, so forget any monopoly complaints, it's sealed in stone YB owns BI!

In all honesty, I was quite surprised at how cheap it is to ship my car as well as a container that will hold all of my furniture on their Barges.
"The shipment of goods under its regulated water carrier service is governed by Local Freight Tariff No. 5-A."
I'm just glad I made the reservations way in advance before this whole cargo mess started happening.

Interesting, that must be why SF has the same cargo rates as YB for containers, but Way under 50% of the YB rate for vehicles!
And they deliver in 1 day not 7 days (or whenever)!
Actally I'm considering investing in the Matson Family, anyone know the ticker? This is going beyond the simple ocean freight monopoly to sea and air, What's next, United Air Freight! The potential is limtless, I want in!

Heck no, who wants a new goldmine with old baggage attached! Air freight pilots are normally cheaper than pax pilots, who needs seniority that wil cost a bunch to eventually dump!
ALEX, thanks Damon, they look even better now, fresh cheap pilots and a blessing from Inouye!

Kewl, ALEX, we can hopefully put our government buy off check (rebate, or future debt, spending incentive? ) or whatever you want to call it, to good use, future dividends! Wish I weren't such a skeptic.
