The submission describes Kalitta Air, a major US cargo airline established in 1967 with over 3,000 employees. Although the submission form contains data entry errors (e.g., project name 'Pilot', revenue stated as a low market cap), the underlying entity is a massive, verifiable logistics provider with significant real-world utility and traction. The project scores exceptionally high on utility and traction, but lower on innovation (standard industry tech) and response quality.
