I think you will find that the FDX(former Tiger) FAs were furloughed in accordance with their labor agreement. Federal Express normally would have found other positions for them but because they were union members that policy did not apply.

Since Atlas guys are surely reading this thread I have a question. SonAir wanted to use their pilots in our (World) cokpit. Are SonAir pilots in your cockpit? Also, what is the makeup of your flight attendant crew? Thanks.

No, and the FA's (Male & Female) live in the Houston area.

I think the cargo portion of Aloha was eventually sold off in the liquidation, and is the only portion of the previous operation still flying.

The F/A's are not employed by AAWW. I don't know if Son Air has them or who, but the quesiton was asked on the company website about them jumpseating on Atlas birds and the answer was that they couldn't as they're not employed by Atlas.

The F/As are rentals. Atlas went to a F/A staffing service and said we need X number of F/As. Atlas trained them to their procedures but their prime requirement is they live in Houston.
