The case could be made that ATN was a large part of the reason DAL declared bankruptcy (Take a deep breath, DAL guys)
Only 6 days ago, the question, "Why did SWA buy ATN?" was asked to the SWA CP who was in ATL talking to guys in recurrent.
His answer? ATN was a 'pain in the a$$ and had 32 gates in ATL. Something SWA would never have and we needed.'
Prior to that, only my wife had called me a PITA. It made me proud.
As to the question posed by Oscar. I will show up to SWA ground school with a smile on my face and ready to kick A$$ for SWA. My concern is if I will ever actually get there.
