AIRTRAN EX: Leonard

[Peardc10]

We are hearing a lot of rumors about Leonard running Sun Country, and that he bought into the company, about 45% stake. We might also fly some of the 700's Airtran cant crew.
Eventually, some type of merger after a few years?

Any info or similiar rumors welcomed!

Word around here is JL is having some health problems. Was taken out of a board meeting on a stretcher a while back. Thought he was getting out for health reasons so I can't imagine he would want to get waist deep into another company. But maybe that was all just rumor. Now as far as the two companies that rumor I have heard around the school house.

Which 700's can't we crew?

Had two buddies that were 737 reserve captains that had 5 reserve days over Christmas, and did not get called once. I don't think we are having any crew issues on 737 recently.

I don't think he meant that AAI doesn't have enough crews. He was referring to AAI only taking 10 a/c instead of the original 18 in 2008 due to lack of space (gates) in ATL.
