This is what I found on Air Cargo News
Centurion Air Cargo bid for Arrow
08-Apr-2010
AIR Cargo News has learned from sources within Centurion that owner and chairman Alfonso Rey has firmed up a bid to buy US-based freighter specialist airline Arrow Cargo.
The move, if successful, would see Centurion absorb the airline’s fleet of MD-11Fs, DC-10Fs and B757 freighters and create a powerful American all-cargo airline, with a particularly strong network into Latin America.
In addition, Air Cargo News believes that Centurion Air Cargo and Russian long-haul B747 freighter operator AirBridge Cargo are to commence a new partnership to service the Latin American flower trade. The new deal will see Centurion feeding flowers from South America (particularly Ecuador) into Miami. Here they will have a crew change and add fuel to continue to Europe and especially Russia, where demand for the flowers is high. It is believed the service will link Moscow-Amsterdam-Miami.

Centurion is not interested in DC-10's anymore (I think, I don't know) they have no use for the 757's, maybe the Ecuador flower routes and to reduce the competition is the reason for this bid. Those MD11's are flown by World Airways they are not on Arrows certificate. I predict another massive rush to the unemplyment office soon, just ask the A300 Tradewinds pilots.

I wonder what will happen to the 6 A330F's that Matlin Patterson ordered a couple years back? They were going to go to Arrow, but who knows now.

For their own sake, let's hope that Centurion buys them. According to this, it won't be good if they don't.

I’m furloughed from another airline and currently have a day Job (not flying).
If I were to start training I have been asked to resign and want to make an educated decision if I am going to give up my right to go back to my previous airline.
I just want to know what the difference between the MD-11 is and the DC-10 pay scale if there is one and how are the lines? Any other basic info about Centurion?
