Default New Gemini Air Cargo?

According to my sources, Gemini Air Cargo has kept its certificate and will restart operations again. First with DC-10s and eventually with B767s. Can any one confirm this?
Bill Stockbridge, the founder of Gemini has purchased the certificate and kept the employment of the D/O. This will surely be a Navy flying club again.

Yep.

Bill was a great boss. Called my wife on Christmas day, 1999, when I was in Africa, to thank her for supporting the company. He called every single employee every Christmas - for awhile at least.

Then we got bought out by the Soprano family.....

An operating certificate has a finite lifespan, without actual operations being conducted, so if he's going to do it, he better get crackin. Even if it is only in a C-172 (cargo model of course)

I for one, hope it works, there is plenty of freight out there for all of us to fly

There sure is, but plenty of business doesn't compensate for lets say "inadequate management" after all the company did go under, even with plenty of cargo out there

Not exactly....many flights have been cancelled in recent months due to "lack of volume"....

many factories in china are closing shop....

And if anyone can force them -and their pilots- back onto the ground, it's the braintrust they had running the show back there at NAS Dulles
