More AirTran MDW growth

[airline#5]

With 32 daily departures and more to come, and recently vacated ATA crew rooms...expect a domicile in the not to distant future. Part of the deal for more gates with the city.

I've said it before, I'll say it again. The time that AirTran got to spend with ATA's books in IND sure is paying off in spades!!

Actually, I hate to burst your bubble..I just saw a notice in our crew lounge referring to Southwest Pilots occupying the A Concourse facilities at MDW, which I believe are the current ATA crew lounges. "This will allow for a staff of 1250 MDW based Pilots" the memo said "and a projected staff of 2000 MDW based flight attendants to occupy the current B Concourse pilot lounge at MDW in addition to the current Inflight lounge also located in the B Concourse."

For $100+ million & some empty promises, you can have the crew rooms..., really. We'll take our few FREE gates (as it's turning out)... and one way or another.

I wish the ATA gents could say the same, though. The several with whom I've flown has been a professional bunch. I wish it wasn't at your expense.

Da Tranny getting 3 gates from da city?

 

[mnboyev]

I thought we just moved from the Southwest gates to A ?

Looks like scraps to me...? Isnt that the 'breezway' down to the ol windy city parking spots...??

Just curious.. please, no smart comments.... Ok.. maybe a few smart comments is OK... predictable at best.

Glad to see more MSP - MDW flying... Lots of SWA commuters and a few ATA fellas as well... I hope the AirTran aviators have been good to ya'll.... We LUV all them Southwest guys. No big egos. Regular fellas.

We wont see any base up there.... please....... At best .. BWI wanna be.
