WOA has been around close to 70 years, they have thrived when left the hell alone to quickly adapt to the ever changing ACMI market. They should have had reserves from DOD charters that would have kept them afloat, best guess is the parent company sucked the life out of them and labor issues previously mentioned. Moving to ATL (hometown of it's then new CEO HH) was a big mistake, Hollis Harris jumped into WOA when it was in bad shape and got lucky with the war. When WOA was in Herndon VA it seemed they had plenty of ex-military VP's, always assumed the coveted DOD contracts were secure. Anywhere anytime was a way of life when I worked for them. This crap would not be happening if Ed Daly was around.
