MDW here comes Airtran

"Mark my words." SWA will NEVER fly into MSP.

Maybe RST or something goofy like that. But you'll never see Canyon Blue at MSP.

In BOS, FL has long co-existed with PVD nearby. So, if either RST (for MSP) or an increase into PVD were the "answer," I'll bet on Airtran ... even at their early age but good point, though.

SWA/FO: Fokker's in-law was "watching" him, too. So, what? However, your partisanship was predictable.

Think about this swafo: Given the choice, same price, would you rather fly in a newer fleet, have an assigned seat, possible $35 business class upgrade, and XM satelite entertainment or show hours early for cattle car seating? Better hope Citrus stays out of OAK, PHX, STL, etc.

To me, BTW, although on a much smaller scale, this looks to be a bigger FU than the MDW expansion of last December because, unlike the last time around (no offense to any ATA employee intended), now there is NO fee to pay but I'll mark you words. The real loser here is ATA employees … courtesy of your prior "answer." I just hope the next "answer" won't be at the expense of the remaining ones at ATA if the last one was of any indication.

Wow....

I'm sure glad my airline is going out of business so I don't have to take part in this bickering anymore!!

What a relief!!

LOL!

Me thinks he's not much interested in the evidence so much as he's in humoring himself.

If you consider "this as bickering," you ain't seen nothin.' But I know you didn't really mean that.

From an AirTran point of view I would much rather compete with Southwest in Chicago than Delta in Atlanta. Southwest is a predictable airline that won't do anything besides what is rational and business sound, where as Delta can do the dumbest things just to f*** with us. BTW, did anyone just notice that the retail price of gas in ATL just went up to $3.70 a gallon!!!
