World offered to keep them. Your guys wanted them. It was a loss for us. Clapped out MD-11 vs. clapped out DC-10. It's a no brainer.

I don't think we've painted them yet either.

Glad we have late arrival pay and a pretty good QRH.

I haven't seen any official statements yet, it's all coming from internal sources, pilot forums, etc.

Assuming it's true. Sorry to hear it guys.

A lot of guys I know from ACA went to work there. Most left a while ago for pastures, some are still there.

Sucks.

Yup, saw rampers unload a GAC MD-11 (in EBBR) that they had just loaded. Looks like the war is over for GAC.

OPS rep said they were done. One MD-11 was still parked in EBBR when I left for JFK last night, it usually goes to LOS from there, I think.
