I know they filed for Chapter 11, but did they have to cease all operations?

The closing of them was because of gas prices. Gas prices are killing every airline in america.

AFAIK they ceased all passenger operations 31rd March. Cargo biz will go on until others will provide this (mainly inter-island postal service).

ATA lost all their Reach troop flights and with todays fuel prices running those old L1011's and DC10's isnt viable for them, shame, another great airline lost.

Shame for the short haul fleet too those 738's will hopefully go to a good airline

Oh i think Kalitta Air cargo will be next cause they only operate the 741 and 742 and there so fuel thirsty.

I say the airlines that wont be going away are(United States Airlines)

United
American
US Airways
Delta
Virgin America(they have so much baking from Virgin Group, so i say there safe)
NWA(is meant to merge soon, i think)
Continental(also is merging soon)
South West(there the fastest airline growing in america)

ON THE EDGE...

I say Fronter, they bight be able to stay

WHAT IS YOUR THOUGHTS...

on Alaska and Horizon(horizon is a small commuter of Alaska, so there like the same).

United have grounded all there 777's (52) for some safety thing so i dont think they will go or unless they still arnt making a profit
