RIP AirTran. Nostalgia thread

[Crash Pad]

The airline ends scheduled service today. I thought we needed a solid thread chalk full of nostalgia.

A couple of my highlights:
1. McKinley Grand bartender
2. Humptys
3. Superman and Batman, the story changed several times and I have no idea what the actual story is, all part of the charm.
4. 717
5. Our union negotiating 3AM reserve starts from 4AM, something about 737 QOL. Whatever it's ALPA. The part I still laugh about is the call at 2:58 in hopes of putting you on rest until show time. The 10 calls between 2:58 and 3. Finally at 3 I would answer and they would alert me of my 9AM show: Classic.

Add more it's fun.

They were a great airline to commute on unlike another unnamed airline in Atlanta.

The Interview process, which kept 400Ahole on the outside and forever bitter. Let's hear it for Jill and Stephanie! :laugh:

1. McKinley Grand bartender.

I'm ASA and meeting AT crews at the bar there always pleasant. Great bartender as mentioned.

Sitting reserve for my last six years and flying an average of 175 block hours a year (living in base of course)!

1. Commuting home in business class listening to XM and deciding if it was a Bloody Mary or merlot flight.

2. Commuting to work on the 717 FA j/s so I can get a delta pilot to work.

3. Dirty Harry's
