I hope it was the plan. Passenger seats are subsidized by cargo and have been for years. There would be no way an 747 given its passenger loads ever would have been profitable if not for carrying cargo underneath. That is pretty much a given in the airline business. As for Kaliltta, well, do you think they would have been sitting around for 28 years for Baltia to happen before determining a market for cargo to St. Petersburg existed? I don't think Connie is that naive. Connie can book his cargo onto any carrier flying to St. Petersburg but that route was not serviced to the degree some investors here think it would be. If that was the case why did some carriers drop the route and others not rush to fill the void? It is nice to have lofty dreams for your investment but you need to ground them in reality. Dreams may take flight but profits are harder to come by in the airline industry. Lower cost airlines usually, unless very well run and they face reality and take on the challenge, do not last a long time. Southwest in the United States and WestJet in Canada which used Southwest as its template, have done well where others have failed. It is far too early to begin calling profits based on little or no real knowledge of the business. It makes for great posts but oftentimes not for bragging about company profitability. That is years away if ever. First they have to get off the ground.
