Default Is World Airways shut down?

I heard this through the grapevine this morning.

Anyone have any additional information?

Up until it went away it was the best job I had. Sad for all of us and infuriated at the decision-makers that brought it to this.

Update: Unconfirmed report supposedly originating from PTC that the doors close as of 5 p.m. Eastern time today.

People are taking their stuff and leaving PTC now. Facebook posts confirm it as well. NAA's future will be decided very shortly. Cerberus decided that WO was a bad investment and pulled the plug. There's no sympathy in business. I was a casualty of this bankruptcy and it hurt to be shown the door, but life is much better on the outside. Best of luck to my former colleagues.
