American’s Najarian, Sun Micro’s McCabe, Target Logistics’ Coppersmith Sound Off

DOWNERS GROVE, IL. – March 2005 – OAG CargoWire, a monthly e-newsletter delivering 'news you can use' to shippers and supply chain pros at no cost, has been launched by Official Airline Guides (OAG).

In the first issue, American Airlines cargo sales vice president Mark Najarian says the world’s biggest airline doesn’t hold freight rate 'fire sales.'

Target Logistics CEO Chris Coppersmith claims today’s forwarder must be a management consultant, not an air freight hustler.

Sun Microsystems top supply chain executive Eugene McCabe says 'dynamic bidding' saved the high-tech multinational 30% on air cargo costs.

In the Weight & Balance op-ed column, the editors call for an end to the insanity of deep and drastic discounting.

OAG CargoWire is a fast, easy read. Headlines on top news stories have links to view the entire article. Readers can also access deeper trends or feature stories. Readers are invited to submit guest editorial opinions.

'OAG CargoWire will also cover corporate shippers, RFPs and contracts awarded, performance scoring on airlines and 3PLs, and other actionable news our readers can use to stay ahead of the evolving global supply chain,' said Kathy Marr, publisher and OAG vice president.
