SWApull sucked then and it does now.
The only one claiming AirTran was going to be a juggernaut is you. Literally none of us claimed anything like that. We were a pretty humble pilot group. For example:
When Midwest Express was on the ropes and we were looking at buying them, NONE of us thought to do to them what SWA/SWAPA did to us.
Realistically, AirTran would be in the JBA, NK, F9 group if it was still around today.
