We should have known ATA was going down soon.
Aloha Airlines, the local supervisor said, was ATA's backup as the two airlines regularly picked up each other's passengers because they flew the same routes
From their website:
Following the loss of a key contract for our military charter business, it became impossible for ATA to continue operations. Unfortunately, we were not in a position to provide our customers or others with advance notice.
Any company that relies on the military for business should be careful. [^]
They banked back during the Persian Gulf War.... Taking choke tax dollars by sending civilian employees over to the Gulf War.
And just as Aloha had been in Bankruptcy before.... so had ATA.
I feel sorry for those affected.
This economy is only going to get worse.
