DATE: February 6, 2006
The 9-day World Airways pilot strike is over and World Airways MD-11
and DC-10-30 passenger and cargo aircraft are once again available for
commercial charters. We are resuming normal operations immediately and a
ratification of the new 3-year contract is expected soon.
"We were able to reach a fair and equitable agreement that met the
needs of our pilots and supported the financial goals for our
company," said Charlie McDonald, World Airways chief operating
officer. "We look forward to obtaining ratification of the agreement
and working with the entire World Airways team to continue the growth
and success of the airline."
"With this agreement, we believe we are poised to continue to provide
growth for the airline and long-term job security with good quality of
life for the entire World Airways workforce," said Randy Martinez,
World Air Holdings chief executive officer.
