"Service levels certainly do not justify costs." Well, you can say that about anything in the NYC area, which is the most expensive city in America and one of a handful of high-cost global cities. This is because the cost of services here is based on real estate values and the local labor market, not on one globally homogenized price for services. As much as global corporations might like standardization of costs around the world to boost their profits, it will never cost the same here to unload a freighter (or provide most any other service) as in, say, Bogota or Shanghai. I don't think those of us that work at EWR and JFK want to be paid what ground staff are paid in the developing world. I imagine Mr. Bisignani would not want to be compensated this way either.

What exactly does "most expensive" mean, at least in the context of this article?

I wonder what 2-4 are.
