so the rah rah air tranny, timmy sucks comments aren't childish in your book?
 
Yup, we're all scabs over here at AT. I was a replacement scab on the A-300 in '89. I'm still amazed they hired me at only 10 years old. :rolleyes:
 
My father walked the line at EAL. No scab here. By the way, most people do not know the whole story of the EAL ALPA debacale.

All good books, but, they do not tell everything that went down. A lot of the behind closed doors will never be told by ALPA.

one of the books listed was by ALPA, the other two have no reason to hide anything.

my career is just fine thank you. i forgot air tran pilots rule! they must state how much better they are than others. they fly the 717 to the edge and back.

maxpowers is proud to work at the airline that f@#$ed over the only person who was looking out for his benefit.

also we here in milwaukee won't smell in 3 months cause we will be able to shower with that big lake right next to us. enjoy smelly tran in the winter.

Guys, he's right we are going to smell in three months. He has Lake Michigan and we have no water in our man made lakes. Obviously Midwest is the better airline because they chose a city close to a large source of fresh water. What are we going to do? I guess it's all over for AirTran. Maybe Delta can save Atlanta!

Well... I think they did a little ball team charter junk..no doubt..(mainly booked by the NWA charter department).. but they were set up to block Sun Country and remove MLT snow bird business.. Squeeze play .....Hmmm...

So... Carrier owned by NWA with Carl Pohlad... and bingo ... you got an airline to do your 'dirty' work.. Give all your MLT vacation Travel to Champion.. and put the hurt on poor ol hard workin Sun Country... That coupled with some bad management/ownership at SunCountry .... and Wham... ol SCA just about tanks..... Now.. couple years later and Champion is left to die on the vine.... used up ol edsel..

This is the parallel I am yacking about... I really hope it is NOT the case over in MKE..However, the move looks alot like what has been done in the past... Buy a carrier.. and use it to block, fight, and mess with competition.

Next we can talk about Pinnacle and Mesaba... How did that little 'family' get along... Seen enough, and fly with enough nice ol ex Mesaba Cappy's to know they werent treated very well... check it out..

Good Luck with your new red meatball family...

Stock price... well... fuel went to 90 bucks... and the 'street' heard we had another deal in the works with Elton John and Wendy's... My rambling is all in fun and mindless chatter.... Fly Safe... Go Packers..

Guess they have a bye this weekend?

Go AirTran!!!!

You guys need to expand ops out of Bloomington, IL (BMI)!!! Maybe a flight to Denver, New York area, or the West Coast? With free parking and not too far from Chicago, people WILL fly outta here!Keep up the good work.

actually for a midwest base Scott AFB (Midamerica) wouldn't be too bad. that terminal was built for SWA before they screwed them and went to STL.
