Airtran management does it right

[JT12345]

No more flightbags. They are a part of the airplane now.

And,

now no more 2 D'cell flashlights required. Equivalent is back.

Thanks.

"Airtran management does it right."

It's called cost savings. If you think they were "hooking a brother up" you need to pull the IV out.

Get a contract. Then pat them on the back.

Check out the new commercial we made that shows a blurred out SWA logo and passengers dressed like cows boarding. I hate management right now but a nice come back to SWA's recent commercial.

I can't find the new commercial. Do you have a link?

airtran mgmnt does it right? really? right in terms of looking out for their shareholders, thats about it. Have them pay you what they pay everyone else, and then they will have "done it right"

- SWA's first commercial wasn't even funny and was completely overplayed
-but them this commercial is even less funny and just plain obnoxious, like everything else Airtran's marketing dept comes up with.

Wow!! Words of wisdom from the Gup.....

This is a victory for the Airtran crews without question. They'll get a contract soon....quit beating them down on a GOOD thing Mr. "just got VNAV" and autothrottles!

 

[motch]

While I agree the management only does things like removing flight bags and replacing them with EFB's for cost effectiveness...

Damn, that is a funny commercial!

 

[NuGuy]

LOL, that commercial is so totally full of win.

Start bashing RJ operators, and heck, I might even pay to fly AirTran...

Why does AirTran try to make it look as though they have friendly FAs? In all of the commercial positioning I get to do, I have never seen a FA go out of their way and just stop to say this. "Hi, welcome aboard. I hope you enjoy you flight." Yeah right. They're normally standing in the front galley chatting away about non work related BS, and when they finally come out they aren't that nice. They have the same type of FAs that any other airline based in ATL or NY has; The ones with NASTY attitudes! Why do airlines think that they are pulling the wool over the general publics eyes with these BS commercials?

I hate SWAs boarding procedures, but they are the happiest and most friendly FAs in the industry that you can experience as a passenger. Every company has at least one or two that aren't very friendly, but of the majority SWAs are the most friendly.

NO, I don't work for SWA, and Yes I did live in ATL for 3 years and rode on AT and Delta as a paying customer. I've have plenty of experience in the back to give my HUMBLE opinion.

That is a great commercial, but they forgot to mention that those are "cash cows".

 

[GuppyWN]

That commercial was funny! The only thing to make it better would have been a hot flight attendant.

[slaquer5]

I don't care who you are, that commercial was very funny.

WOW, Airtran gives there passengers drinks on the ground while they are boarding? I am betting that was a stretch.

 

[Whine Lover]

Dude,

Were all of your 19,000 hours spent at SWA?

"Drinks on the ground while boarding...." Is not really a "stretch" at all. That's a little something they call "Business" or "First" Class in the Industry.

Welcome aboard....And please, enjoy the ride. ( And always remember to heed the signature line below. )

[Lear70]

Correct.

Business class gets drinks while boarding. Just like every other airline's 1st or Business class...

The commercial was a good rhetort. I wish AirTran would air more of its commercials, some of those things are dang funny - they showed us a bunch in initial new-hire class from earlier marketing campaigns circa 2004-2006. Great stuff!

Wonder which department was responsible for capping off the fun commercials that probably would have resulted in increased revenue in new cities...

 

[PropPiedmont]

Airtran's commercial was funnier. Maybe there's a new arm wrestling match brewing.

 

[slaquer5]

Either way Airtran and SWA will be one airline . JMO

 

[GuppyWN]

Yep.
