Airtran calling back more pilots!! Upgrades too!

20% Growth in a tanking economy... that makes as much sense as a round trip ticket for $29.99 (Oh wait, you guys do that...)

jester,

That post was sarcastic in nature by someone who doesn't like AirTran, not from anyone who works for AirTran.

If SWA is holding steady I HIGHLY doubt that you all will grow 20%. Keep in mind the world's largest airline just appeared in your backyard and that there is a good possibility SWA is not far behind them. Better hang on...this is where the ride will get a bit messy.

Hey uh..jester.....let me guess. Bitter, jaded, and yes...your company invented air travel.

Also, I agree with Ual express, the original post appears to be sarcasm.....look it up...

What a freakin @sswipe!

Listen up, Chief . . . . if we want any advice on how to ride out a bankruptcy, we'll be sure to look your lame @ss up, but until then, why don't you have a nice warm cup of STFU and go back to fellating Uppercrust?

FWIW, based on the Ass-clowns that your airline hired from my University . . . your passengers and everyone on any hilltop near SFO should thank God that most of you talentless imbeciles are flying Airbuses.

I find it amusing when pilots sitting in the flight deck have a strong opinion on ticket prices. They sound as if they have everything figured out. They know exactly how much $ to charge to make a profit.

Listen, the company is in the business to make money. There are market analysts, economists, marketing specialists, accountants, etc. that have an MBA and work FULL-TIME trying to figure the formula to make money. Just because you see $29.99 on the internet doesn't mean you know everything what's going on.

The closest comparison to the absurdity of your statement is this scenario: Imagine that you're sitting the flight deck ready to push off the gate, when one passenger comes up to you and says that you should fly over KY going to FL, because he heard over the Weather Channel that it's raining over VA.

So you think 29.99 fares can make money? Really.

The only certain thing 29.99 fares do is support low F/O wages and not allow for pensions.

Ask those two of Airtran and what do you get?

pensions have worked out great for the industry in the last 20 years. I'll take our 10.5% any day over a pension that may be bargained away or simply seized.

Do you really think we're filling up airplanes with $29 fares? It's a teaser fare. We offer a few seats with that fare, and everything else is much higher. I guarantee that your carrier does the same thing. Delta does it constantly.
