It could just be the heavy maintenance center at PIK.

I haven't hear a thing, those posts sound real sporadic like rumors. I know there were some issues about certain cargo types passing through certain locations as is mentioned in those posts, but that is easily remedied by re-routes. Who knows, but I imagine everyone is feeling a crunch with fuel so could be Atlas is just making an adjustment.

In the event that you see Atlas going under, I would think we would see some of the others going belly up first.

Hmmm, where did you say that MD-11 download was?

Atlas air is not in trouble, but it is true we will not be flying to PIK in scheduled service anymore. We are closing the base.
