Delta is starting twice weekly service Atlanta-Luanda mid June:

2x weekly, stopping at Sal Verde, 757...

Not exactly an equivalent to 3x weekly non-stop MD-11 is it?

Nor the class of service you'll see on on a World MD11 with 101 seats (12 first, 38 business) and 13 or so FA's- as long as you can pry some of that good catering out of their paws.

Atlas training center is spinning up for FA training and the unofficial word is it's a done deal for Atlas. FWTW.

Yeah, I heard that too. I also heard (unofficial word) that the contract has still not been awarded for next year.

Also heard its now official that Sonair has a 747 carrier picked out and will be intergrating Angolan crews. Wonder how that will play out with the various unions!

Angolan FA'S...?

I think that they just want to integrate FA's and of course if it is Atlas, it's a non issue.

According to a memo out at World Sonair wants to use some Angolan cockpit and cabin crewmembers, and it appears that some other airline must be agreeing to that!

Good luck to whichever group has to deal with that!

HAAAHAAAHAAAAA! Too funny.

It's a shame they are so embarrassingly unattractive....

With the EU lifting the ban on TAAG flying into the EU after passing the safety audit with a 98% and their 777s flying again, I wonder how TAAG's proposed LAD-IAH (either with TAAG's 777 pending FAA aproval or SAA A340 under ACMI) will effect this World/Atlas/??? contract?
