just found out about this on my facebook from airliners.com feed...

Frankly, I had thought they were already shutting down, but this is sad news nevertheless... having worked at Gemini and seeing a lot of my friends go there to start over, this is sad.. also having worked at Evergreen and seeing yet another old non-sched going out of business and leaving a hole in aviation history is also sad..

The never ending shifting of the landscape of aviation... and it's likely not done!

Ex ATA guy here. We had a lot of guys go to world as ATA was tanking. Sad man.

Like the other guy said, it's probably not likely done...

They had amazing history and were in business for 66 years.

ATA, Arrow, now World. Way to go Mattlin Pattersen!

Sorry Guys.

It's probable that the World people are already aware of this MD-11 freight start up but I'll put up this info just in case. Best of luck to the World crews.
