Of all the charter/ACMI operators, Atlas seems to be the one the Global guys are setting up their program to sell it to. No one has to defend Atlas, its business plan or its success to me. I'm just hypothesizing based on the changes Global has made to both World and NAA.

Sorry if the intent was misunderstood.

On top of that there's a rumor around that the FAA and DOD aren't happy with the qualifications of Atlas 767 crews. Looks like the the Atlas/NAA/World merger rumors may not be too far off the mark...
