There are lots of contractors that the DOD uses, like my employer (Atlas), and we are doing fine...thanks.
The problem with WOA is that they are now owned by an outfit that doesn't give a damn about the airline business, or any other business...all they care about is get in, get out, and on the way out drain the company from the millions it had in cash, pension funds, etc...Remember the movie, Wall Street?...same thing.
