ATA Airlines filed bankruptcy and cancels all flights
Another airline ATA followed Aloha footsteps. ATA Airlines announced that they've filed for bankruptcy on April'02'2008 and looks like their all flights have been canceled. If you had booked tickets with them it is good you call early and get the refunds. Read the bankruptcy details at ATA.com.
It is bad for airline travelers who have already made summer bookings in all these airlines. Southwest purchasing ATA and snatching their meals and snacks in flight and economy plane might be the reason for bankruptcy. Also many of SW flights are grounded for safety inspections.

CompUSA closing its doors -- going out of business ??
Is CompUSA bankrupt?
Strong rumors are floating in forums and online that CompUSA may close its doors very early.
The very first thing that comes to mind of this news - what will happen to my performance service plans and Mail-In-Rebates from CompUSA?
I had a CompUSA tech visit my place yesterday to fix my HP computer that I bought online at FRYS.com. This tech is doing HP service from CompUSA (like those geek squad guys), all they do is fix your HP computer for free if it is in warranty and also didn't know I qualify for In-Home computer repair service. I wonder what HP does with all its desktop/laptop support if CompUSA goes out of business ?
Last time I think I've walked into a CompUSA store is in the year 2001 to buy a Compaq desktop computer,I have always had an excellent experience with the CompUSA. In early 2007 Dallas-based CompUSA closed more than half of its retail computer and electronics stores.During Black Friday 2007 I was searching for close by Comp USA store location and found they close all compusa within 80-100 miles of my location.Probably the competition is stiff with Fry's, Best Buy, Circuit City, Office Max, Office Depot and Staples - the irony is almost everyone else sells same thing, with/without the sales/rebates, It is certainly a tough market to be in at this time.
Layoffs and shop closures at Holiday time is the worst thing that can happen to any one.May be good thing is that all laid off CompUSA employees might be able to find the jobs quickly with continuing Holiday shopping.
What about performance service plans, Mail-In-Rebates that every one shopped at COMPUSA this Thanksgiving ? If you are lazy like me then it is time to act on all those rebates and mail them soon to get back (any) COMPUSA rebates.
Here are some of the MIR rebate sold items for Black Friday/Thanks Giving 2007 :
