There are three ways to do that:
1. Add passenger operations, management, and administration to Southern's OpSpecs.
2. Add the 777 operation, training program, and management to Atlas OpSpecs (redundant to Southern's operation).
3. Merge Southern into the Atlas certificate.

My money (and hope) is on option 3. Merging certificates is a big task, but then you can start a passenger operation the next day, and realize several other benefits of a merged operation.
....and also rumored on the Omni thread that they would like a piece of that SonAir action.

Are three of these 777's the planes that TNT operates? Wonder if that lease automatically defaults to FedEx in the buyout and FedEx assumes those leases.

Yes. Atlas owns 3 TNT flown 777's:
OO-TSA
OO-TSB
OO-TSC

(Atlas also owns 2 AeroLogic 777's and one Emirates 777)

I would hope that Atlas brings the TNT planes back stateside for us to fly...
