National Airline

Just read where National Airlines is getting into the scheduled tourist airline market starting with MCO but looking to get into NY to Puerto Rico.

National Airlines sees demand for growth months after opening - Orlando Sentinel

Are we witnessing ATA part deux? Successful Military ACMI carrier that tries to get into the 121 game to it's eventual demise?

Let me be the first:

How much do they pay to start?

What bases do they offer?

How long until you get 757 PIC time?

Haha!

That reminds me of the s̶t̶u̶d̶e̶n̶t̶ ̶ millennial recently imprisoned in NK, who went there with a tour group whose slogan is "group tours for people who hate group tours".

So, this would be "National Airlines," version 3.0. Are the MBA's so void of imagination they can't find new names for airlines anymore?

121 wasn't the demise of ATA.

Southwest was for starters by injecting John Denison in as CEO of ATA. Denison systematically dismantled ATA. Started with ATA Connection, then one leg out from under the table after another.
Southwest owns ATA's operating certificate to this day.

FedEx ultimately broke ATA's back. Most people don't realize that. FedEx got the ACMI contract pulled from ATA. They shut down immediately. Years later FedEx was sued for being the demise of the airline and FedEx lost the suit.
