Airtran Question

[SEVEN]

With the recent recall of all remaining furloughed pilots, is there any talk of substance of any hiring in the near future?

Why would you want to work there?

No growth planned until 2011. A profit in the first quarter was nice. But there will not be any hiring.

Not till after the merger is complete.

Frontier?

Not interested in working there. Was just curious about the current state of the airline. If Airtran begins hiring, that would be a positive turn given the current hiring situation in the industry as a whole.

I think when everyone is hiring is when everything will be peachy.

Even if a few airlines start hiring again this summer, it's better than none. There are a lot of qualified pilots on the street.

Wasn't that statement likely a negoiating ploy?
