HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA......HA!!

Well, according to the website, they have been providing all kinds of domestic and Int'l services for years! They must have quite a fleet!! Oh, what's this... breaking news....they don't even own a pair of wheel chocks!? This can't be... JD assures everyone it's 'not a concern', just a minor 'delay', a hiccup if you will. The fleet will be arriving any moment. If you hold your breath long enough, I guess the little stars you see kiiiiiiiiiiiiinda look like a fleet of 74's arriving...now, work for nothing, and feel free to invest if youhave any spare cash - not to worry, we're right on track!!

Oh this is better than the 'Day's of our lives'. Perhaps, 'As The Windsock Turns...the Bull**** Flies'.

U&D,
You mean you just looked at the website now????

I thought a naysayer like you would have been all over that ages ago.

FYI. We do own a set of wheel chocks. Where does it say we don't?

OK, maybe you have some chocks - I'll give you that much credit.

But please enlighten us - just when exactly did the last "Domestic and / or International passenger and cargo service throughout Western Canada and the Pacific North Western U.S.A." take place!?

I'm just not sure that one Beaver, 'operated' years ago, constitutes a fleet.

Obviously any small company will stuff socks down their pants to look bigger than they really are - but you have to admit, that website is way beyond Bollocks!!

Where's 74tweaker these days? Too busy fueling 747's to enjoy a little witty banter? What about all the rest of the SAG cheerleaders? Have they all been pumped and dumped by the QB already? When will the next 'execs' get suckered in the door...?

Tune in next week, for the most shocking rose ceremony ever!

WORLD AIRWAYS TO OPERATE CARGO SERVICE TO ASIA AND EUROPE FOR AIR CANADA

PEACHTREE CITY, Ga. (March 8, 2005) – World Airways, a wholly owned subsidiary of World Air Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: WLDA) has signed a two-year ACMI wet-lease contract with Air Canada for international cargo service between Toronto, Canada and several cities in Asia, and between Toronto and Europe. Under the agreement, World will operate an MD-11F freighter aircraft for Air Canada beginning in May 2005. The contract has an estimated value of $44 million.

“Air Canada is a leader in the airline industry, and we welcome the opportunity to partner with them as they expand their cargo operation,” said Rob Binns, World’s senior vice president, marketing and planning. “ This agreement extends World’s presence in the flourishing Asian cargo markets.”

World Airways, a wholly owned subsidiary of World Air Holdings, Inc., is a U.S.-certificated air carrier providing customized transportation services for major international cargo and passenger carriers, the United States military, and international leisure tour operators. Founded in 1948, World operates a fleet of 16 wide-body aircraft to meet the specialized needs of its customers. For information, visit www.worldairways.com.

Well - that's all folks.

We had a deal pending with our half of the lease signed - but looks like we lost out to Air India.

Don't know what's next, money is almost gone and no other A/C available right now. We'll see if we can keep it open - but I'm not holding my breath. Thanks to all the cheerleaders. As for the Naysayers - we didn't fail for any of the reasons you've dreamed up.

There are more B747 frieghters on the market than you can imagine. This failed for two reasons, JAG had no financing and no experience.

Why o why o why is Air Canada allowed to subcontract its work out to a US carrier ? I've said it before. Ever wonder why there are so few good flying jobs in Canada?. -- And where does the AC pilot's union stand on this. Your pax flying will be next if you allow this kind of thing. Freight is always used as the thin end of the wedge. Cargo first, then the subcontract for some pax flying on "unprofitable routes to build a market".
The Canadian government is asleep at the wheel on this.
Is there a connection between World and AC? Did some of the world execs work at AC before?
