Page A—6 — Shelton-Mason Journal - Thursday, Nov. 19, 2020 LETTERS, continues frdrn page A-5 Well done, people Editor, the Journal, I know very well how conservative Mason County is, so I’m writing to tell you howimpressed I was at Safeway in Belfair. Every single person in the store was wearing a mask. President Donald Trump doesn’t believe in masks. Well done, Mason County! Greg Dallum Shelton High vibrations Editor, the Journal, Where have our rights to life, liber- ty and the pursuit of happiness gone? Why have our religious freedoms been suppressed? My religious belief: the coronavirus and a human being are both organ- isms with magnetic Vibrational fre— quencies. They have both been stud- ied, measured and photographed. The coronavirus has a vibrational frequen- . GUEST cy between 5.5 hertz and 14.5 hertz. The human being is the organism that has a wide range of emotions. Emotions are also organisms with magnetic Vibrational frequencies. These emotions have been studied, measured and photographed. Love and hope at 500 hertz, joy and hap-- piness at 540, and gratitude at 600 hertz. How does this fight a‘virus? Science can determine the force needed to push a man in a wind tunnel down the tunnel. Why have we not been told how much hertz is needed to push a virus away? Is 500 hertz, 540 hertz or even 600 hertz enough to push a virus away? This is my religious belief. If we live in fear, frustration, insecurity, anxiety, anger or rage, we will in fact be using mag- netism to draw the virus in because these are low vibrational frequencies. If we live in love and hope, joy and happiness, and gratitude then we will in fact have a better chance to push the virus away then a vaccination because these are high-vibrational frequencies. Keeping us in lockdown keeps us in low vibrational frequencies so when you release us from the lockdown the virus will always find a home to bond to us. You will never release us from lockdown or give us our constitutional rights back based on these beliefs. This information can be proven by a physicist, not by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or the pharmaceutical companies. They want us left in lockdown. Ted Kyllenon Shelton Salary raises at Timberland Editor, the Journal, Subject: TRL administrative sala- ries Did you know that your Timber- land Regional Library property tax dollars provided huge salary increases to a few TRL administrators? Whop- ping increases in fact.Comparing 2019 to 2020, one of these administrators saw an increase of 23%, bringing her salary from $84,975 to $104,509. In just one year, we should all be so lucky to have a job during a raging pandemic and get a 23% pay raise. By comparison, those lucky enough to be a Social Security recipient received a 1.3% increase for 2020. Worse still. some of our neighbors are looking at unemployment or reduced hours and reduced paychecks. Don’t be surprised that you didn’t know about this generosity. The Mason, Grays Harbor, Lewis, Pacific and Thurston county commissioners appoint the TRL Board of Trustees. ' This seven-member board was made aware nine months after the execu- tive director awarded the unbudgeted salary increases that will continue to grow with longevity and cost-of-living increases. Why'does this matter? If you are a TRL patron expect a long-term impact to core services (like new books, fewer open hours and libraries being closed), there will be consequences to TRL’s unbridled generosity for salaries and benefits. If you are a property tax payer, don’t be surprised to see a levy lid lift in the not so distant future. .Brenda Hirschi Shelton 1 Coronavirus spUrring air cargo growth I turers have been clobbered by the coronavirus planes’ bellies. half of the world’s air freight is flown in passenger which is rapidly expanding its fleet and plans to have 80 freighters flying by June 2021. Analysts It’s no secret that airlines and airplane manufac- pandemic. Particularly hard hit are interna- tional flights traditionally flown by jumbo jets. Borders are closed and people aren’t flying. There is a small silver-lining. Just as restaurants started take-out service to sur- vive, airlines are filling planes with freight. US. airlines are reeling from the pan— demic and have lost more than $20 billion combined in the last two quarters. Even with the surge in air freight rates, cargo revenues aren’t enough to make up for those By DON BRUNELL losses on their own, especially with capacity still limited, CNBC’s Leslie Joseph reported earlier this month. “However, it has become a more important revenue source with many pas- sengers still forgoing flights.” Before the coronavirus, decades of a long aviation boom spawned a network of nearly 50,000 air routes that traversed the world. In less than a year, the pandemic wiped almost a third of them off the map, according to Angus Whitley of Traveller.com. In late January, 47,756 operational routes criss- crossed the world, more than half of them in the United States, Western Europe and Northeast Asia, according to OAG Aviation Worldwide. By Nov. 2, there were just 33,416 routes on global schedules. For shippers, the shortage of passenger flights has a corresponding impact on air cargo.

If airplanes are grounded, so it car- go. It is that simple. Air cargo sector has retained 92% of its business while almost 90% of passenger de- mand has evaporated because of travel fears and government restrictions. Further im- provement in cargo volumes could be capped by the ongoing shortage in passenger flights, even though the sliver of good news is Cathay Pacific is resuming 777 flights between Hong Kong and New Zealand start- ing on Nov. 27. ' Many carriers started taking their jumbo jets out of service before the pandemic. They parked 747 and A-3803. That loss of cargo capacity opened up business for companies such as Cargolux, the Luxembourg-based cargo operator, which has 30 747s. Cargolux is hop— ing that Boeing will make a freighter version of its 777X the new composite wing aircraft. Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings, Inc. just an- nounced third-quarter 2020 net income of $74.1 million, a stark contrast to United ($2.4 billion) and Delta ($2.1 billion) losses for the secOnd quarter.

Amazon’s $1.5 billion air hub in northern Ken- tucky could help give it an edge. The hub, scheduled to open in 2021, is designed to have capacity for 100 Amazon-branded planes and handle an estimated 200 flights per day. CNBC’s Annie Palmer reported. While some analysts project it may take up to five years before passenger flights return to pre- pandemic levels, air freight is steadily growing in importance. Korean Air forecasts high demand casted for traditional air cargo such as semiconductors, auto parts and e—commerce supplies and also believes it will benefit from urgent medical supply demands associated with COVID—19. Its executives believe the lack of trans-oceanic container shipsgopens even more opportunities for air carriers. Hopefully, the increase in air freight will led to new airplane orders for Boeing.
