AirTran Airways announces Wi-Fi service on every flight!!

[gt1900]

Maybe Delta should run ads advertising how we didn't change our name to run from a checkered past......Would that work?? Too Soon???

I guess we should define checkered past. HMMM Bankruptcy... Cuting Pilot wages by 40%...... Destroying Pilot Pension...... Flight 191.... Ah hell......... Just read it here. Theres plenty for you to chew on!

Did they mention how much it will cost to use the wi fi or is it free? will the pilots have access to it for free?

We chip in to buy our own lunches.
We chip in to lower pay scales so they can buy more fuel.
We chip in to get taxis and hotel rooms on our own and wait (hope and pray) they get reimbursed timely.
We chip in to buy the higher-priced snacks on the plane (since the turn was too tight to go get real food to go).

Why not pay for the internet, too? Maybe you can think of a clever way to tax deduct it. Had to check FLIcA for work... yeah, that's it.

 

[Abernathy]

Speaking of that Deltalina guy, has he had "the operation," yet? Or is he still pre-op?

 

[FlyWolf]

Ranges from $8 to $13 for passengers to use the wi fi, was just reported on the 9 pm news in Milwaukee.

but did Delta have to change their name??

I guess all those battery fires and GREAT footage of people bailing out on the ATL runways in a cartoonjet seemed to slip your mind.....

Yep, lots to chew on.

 

[BILL LUMBERG]

I noticed you guys can be a little slow, is that why you always ask for wind checks?

I don't get it.....

 

[Kharma Police]

I don't get it.....

I'm sorry you "don't get it", but don't worry guy! The next time you have a tough question, feel free to ask, I'm here to help!!!

For instance, you might ask, "How many zeros are in a billion for our three month loss?" or "What will I do for my retirement" or "What do these big words mean, bankruptcy, force majeure and furlough?"

 

[eaglesview]

This is great stuff, almost as entertaining as the USAir east/west material. I can't wait for our merger si I can get into a good "brewhaha" right here on FI!!

a little link live in a 737 up over the northeast. Pretty good footage.

 

[Stifler's Mom]

This whole monkey see, monkey do thing will have gone too far the first time an AirTran guy asks for a windcheck on short final.

 

[Colonel Savage]

I don't get it.....

He's implying that you guys are pu$$ies and can't figure out what the wind is doing on your own.

 

[FlyingSig]

"What will I do for my retirement"

About 3.5% more than an AirTran pilot will do for his/her retirement .... (10.5% B fund at AirTran vs. 11% at DAL...which is going up to 14% by contracts end.

Wait a minute sparky! You want to talk checkered past. How about valujet 592? Let's leave by gones be by gones.

To the many kind pilots at Delta, I offer my apologies and will refrain from casting stones at your company in response to negative comments by aforementioned individuals directed at my airline.

Wow, Kharma!! I tapped a nerve huh??

Let's see...you have people on the street, not us....you guys almost we're down to no cash last summer, not us.....you guys never had the spine to get a pension in your contract so that's moot.

Must be tough explaining to friends and family why you didn't get hired at Delta....

Don't turn your stupid press releases around on me.....it's good to be copied, it can be the best form of flattery.

I really like the story about the party your clowns in ATL threw when we rolled into bankruptcy at the Marriott Marquis. Classy!!
