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.

Sorry to all my World "cousins"... We at NAA should know our fate in a few days. Fingers crossed we survive,
