March 3, 2008 -- CHICAGO – The pilots and flight engineers of ATA Airlines are warning that they will fight any plan to sell or...
This is to SWA pilots.
We've been hearing this rumor, a lot.
Effective about mid March. ATA will cease scheduled service as ATA Airlines and begin wet leasing our scheduled service aircraft to SWA. SWA will begin to service international destinations as Southwest Airlines with SWA painted...
Here are some transcript excerpts from SWA's latest earnings conference call:

From the Company web site:
Great News! Today, Global Aero Logistics Inc., ATA’s parent company, completed the acquisition of World Air Holdings, Inc. We signed the “Merger Agreement” on April 05. Until now, we were working to secure the financing and getting legal matters sorted out in order...
ATA, North American and World are about to get whipsawed against each other in my opinion. These three airlines need a place to discuss and work together and this is not the place, wouldn't you agree. This new forum is non-profit, closed for only the three airlines and not competing with...

Has the US presence in Iraq created terrorists?
I often hear from my liberal friends that the US is the cause for terror in the world and if we pulled out of Iraq there would be more peace around the world. I did a little research and this is the list of terrorists attacks after 9-11 and before...
A SWA friend told me that he heard there was some company news to the pilots that SWA was considering buying ATA.
This is probably miss-interpreted but I have to ask.
Thanks in advance!

Congrats to SWA and CAL for your profitable quarters!
Why do so many on this board think that fuel hedging is cheating regarding profits that SWA churns out? Fuel Hedging is a strategy used just like any other strategy that their business plan calls for. Good Management not cheating.
I also...
We've been hearing about this International plan for 08 or 09 a lot lately. Is this the usual tactic by your management to talk about future growth this far out.
I usually don't hear about SWA plans until only a few months before their strike. I'm thinking the strategy is to see International...
Jet Blue, too much attitude?
I've been a lurker on this board for some time and finally feel compelled to post.
I was really excited when Jet Blue airline hit the scene. I thought, now here's a CEO that finally gets it.
I also have watched the level of arrogance and just plain hot air from...
Hello,
I'm new to this site and just love it!
I fly for ATA and I've been hearing a lot about C-8 getting Saab2000s. I think that C-8 really does need some heavier lift and I think this would be very positive.
