It wasn't because of anything World or the other folks did. AMC was doing an audit and found that the equipment being flown out was miscoded and was supposed to go out by land.

Big hit.

Sorry for the furloughed, but in the long run you will be much happier at your next job. World stopped being a great place to work a long time ago. Good luck.

Anything new?

Any more word on the furlough? I have lots of friends at World and hoping for the best for them. :(

About half the company is furloughed right now. Not looking good...

Are there rumors of another round of furloughs?

I believe at its peak, around '07 or '08, the list was approaching 475. That included all - LOA, FE's, Checks, Management... I could be wrong though.

Mr. White

The July 2009 seniority list had 517. It included FE's, SO's, LOAs, etc.

In the summer of '08 WOA acquired 2 MD-11's from the shutdown of Gemini Air Cargo and also hired about 60 current and qualified refugees from Gemini. (myself included) That's likely what brought the number up from the level you remember to the 517 peak.

I believe 15 more by the 1st, possibly everybody else by the 2nd.

Any truth to NAA being sold?

Best of luck, World people. I enjoyed my time there, but definitely had the impression management wasn't in it for the long haul.

All times are GMT -8. The time now is 10:11 PM.
