If GSS had been serious about operating other ACMI contracts they've had around 7 years to get their act together.
Unfortunately GSS were never going to be in a position to get further customers.

GSS was always an Atlas/BA instrument used to service the Speedbird contract so that Atlas didn't lose it (for political reasons).

They are Atlas aircraft unfortunately. Any additional contracts out there would have been serviced by Atlas...not GSS.

The talk of possible extra customers for GSS over the years was just that. Talk to give the troops some hope.

Many good people at GSS...Sorry to see this is ending up in a similarly brutal state to the AACS/AABO Atlas STN base demise. Bad things sometimes happen to good people.

All the very best to everyone at GSS.
