Lets talk present tense facts..
HalinTexas:
I debated a while deciding whether to jump into this, but I'm sorry... we're all adults here. Grow up!
I have quoted and pasted a "greatest hits" package of your emotionally charged "posts", so maybe... just maybe, you can step back and see how factually inadequate your posts appear to the mainstream.

There are pilots at ATA that have forgotten more things than you know about flying.
Besides that being a ridiculous thing for any Professional to go around saying.... your point is what?

Answer me this.....What did Valujet do with the old Airtran and old AirFL guys/gals they absorbed? How were they integrated? I guess you feel that the AMR/TWA deal was fair?
ValuJet bought Airtran for the name (operating certificate), right? They didn't buy them for MCO, old B737-200's, or for anything else. So, if you've bought some part of another carrier and taken their pilots and said merger/acquisition resulted in an old "manatee" as number 1 on the list, then a precedent has been set for integration.
What strikes me as quite unusual, is here we have alot of incomplete assumptions and answers from the same person that is asking the all the questions. Judging from YOUR answers to YOUR questions, you haven't a real grasp on anything factual. Here is a FACT for you. AirTran (as of now) is NOT buying ATA, so your apples to oranges comparison is presumptuous at best.

The only reason you assume I'm talking down to you is that I've been following this discussion on this board for a while now, have looked at the "offers" from management and Airtran, and have concluded that management from both companies, and many Airtran pilots look down on the ATA crewmembers.
Please show me facts to validate this? I have read all the posts here on Flightinfo, AND on our private independent AirTran Pilots website, AND I have read the signed agreement between ATA and FL Management, and I have concluded that you are completely WRONG.

ATA crews are sacrificing their careers for Airtran pilots to advance theirs.'
Please present FACTS. I wasn't aware that AirTran has acquired any of the MDW gates. In fact AirTran will grow regardless whether we expand at MDW or DFW, or BWI, or MCO etc etc. Also for a fact, AirTran began bidding for new aircraft and placed an order for 100 B-737 last year long before ATA was even thinking of bankruptcy. Please get a grip man. You haven't sacraficed ANYTHING for me... and once again I have concluded that you are WRONG.

I don't think that any pilot at ATA is expecting DOH. But they're integrated, not subjected to preferential interviews. That's my point. Like I said, if everyone is a little bit PO'd then it's probably a fair deal.
So if you're the one thats "PO"d, then I will assume that its a fair deal, and you will accept it as a fair deal..... is that your real feelings..... I'll bet not.
