No one - and I do mean no one - left any of those top five to work for Airtran.
Regardless of whether you wanted to fly heavy metal or the Texas two-step, if you were lucky enough to land a spot in the top five, it's highly unlikely you would leave.
I know of several from Delta and US Air.
Just like Spirit - who has some fantastic people - very few set out to work to work there. You end up there. How many at Airtran can honestly say it was their first choice?
Just another example of making a statement. Either you just repeat what you have heard someone or many say or you say things and think nobody really checks.
AAI had pilots who left the majors. Not furloughed. That is a fact. Now, they may have left right before the BK was filed at their respective airlines. I am not including furloughed pilots.
