AirTran: A brief summary
AirTran Airways describes itself as a low-fare airline designed for business travelers.

The company was established in 1993, but it first gained national attention in 1997 when it merged with ValuJet, which suffered financially after a ValuJet DC-9 carrying 109 people crashed in the Florida Everglades.

Thanks Rich. Hey, buddy, when you write articles about other airlines, do you make sure to mention at least one of there crashes as well? Make sure you put the fatalities in there as well, no matter how UNRELATED to the topic it is.

No, I'm not going to mudsling against any individual airline at this time--I do know that my former place of employment had 5 in 5, and a Saturday Night Live skit, but it's no re-hashed on almost every article. I still haven't quite figured that out yet.

I had a good friend from High School and her mother perish on that flight in the glades.

Very sorry to hear about your friends mother. It is a shame that the whole thing happened.

What steeler fan was saying is that Airtran is NOT Valuejet, Valuejet was on the verge of extinction and bankruptcy when Leonard came in. All new management, all new Airplanes, all new philosophy and 7 straight years of profitability! There is not one hint of Valuejet left at Airtran (besides a few pilots and fa's).

Listen, there are problems at every airline, and there are some problems here at Airtran but the Valuejet arguement gets old and tiring. You mention Southwest or American but no-one ever brings up their crashes, or mistakes. But you mention Airtran and people start screaming "Valuejet" and "Everglades" which by the way was caused by incompetant contract maintenance putting oxygen generators in the cargo hold NOT the fault of any Valuejet employee or pilot.
