apirchick, if in fact LY will be using MD-11s it'll be the first time.The difference is they will probably be leasing them and use their own crews etc so it wouldnt be as if you could buy a tkt on World Airways nor will World be gaining anything except for the lease payments. The story with Lambda ibnt clear ,WHO ARE THEY? It seems to me as if its Tower in disquise and maybe in together w/World. Which is not the case w/LY(ELAL).ELAL I dont fly but would Lambda+ NO WAY DO I GET ON.
