6 carriers received ATSB funds. The two carriers the program was designed for by Congress, UA & AA were not among them. Of those that received funds, only one could be considered a success in that it controlled it’s own future and repaid the loan. That was America West. Doubt most pilots could name the others outside of UsAirways, but they were Frontier, Aloha, World, and Evergreen.
