Depends what side of the fence you are on. Again its sad what GAL has done to three airlines. Omni takes over sometime in the beginning of May.

It's far from a done deal. They must get approval from the bankruptcy court and there are some big players against the deal.

Face it. World is dead. NAA is gone. Omni got the IAD operation. The good news is the regionals can't hire fast enough. You've got a real shot at a new job there, JJP.

Big companies (ILFC, GECAS, the owner of the building at PTC, etc.) that haven't been paid everything that they are owed since the bankruptcy filing. Cerberus wants 95% of the proceeds and these companies want to be paid out of the proceeds. The judge refused to sign off on the deal without a hearing. Check it out with your union of choice or look at the filings online.

You don't understand the power and networks of the owner of Omni. He's a very business savvy and well connected individual. I'm sure the financial package proposed was enough to satisfy the debtors and the rest is the holding company of world and NAA problem.

On a good note don't the NAA and world pilots get first look for 24 months?

"Ohhh Goodie, first look at Omni?" That was a quote from an ex-NAA guy here at Atlas, last nite. Not sure how the contracts and pay compare. The word is that World guys/gals are getting a priority shot at Atlas, maybe worthwhile effort for the NAA guys/gals. Sounds like hiring is back onspeed.
