Hey, everyone, I have questions for any World pilots on here.
Why did World buy NA? Didn't World already have pax carrying authority? World flies both cargo and pax. So I don't really see why that happened. Was it for NA's 180 ETOPS certificate? I'm guessing that World already had vast worldwide route authority on the ops specs, so that is yet another reason why I can't make sense of this acquisition. I don't think NA had that much business that either World wanted, or felt scared about enough to buy a competitor out. Can anyone enlighten me here please?

thanks guys.
