I see self help or some type of chaos strike in the future. Dont waste your time with this place.
Terrible place to work? Do you really work at Airtran?

I left AT three years ago because I always wanted to fly internationally; I am doing that today, I love it and am very content knowing I made what was the right decision for me.

Having said that, I did not leave Airtran for any of the reasons you mentioned. True, the pay and the benefits (especially the health benefits!) should probably be better BUT that could be said about many airlines of today.

I worked at Airtran for two years and got to work with some great people; they were all down to earth guys and gals who wanted to do their best, fly safe and have fun.
I ran into a few very negative individuals but they were the exception to the rule.

Maybe the schedules have changed a whole lot since I was there because at the time I didn’t think they were that bad; if you’re looking for 2-days on – 5-days off type of schedules – well, few airlines have them.

Hotels? They seemed to be all right to me but maybe that changed as well…

What hasn’t changed is that some people seem to be unhappy no matter what…
Hope you don't take it the wrong way, but IF things are truly that bad (and who knows, maybe you’re right?) why don’t you look for another place? I mean working for an airline you can’t stand must be tough on your body and your soul?…


Skyone – I know I’ll hurt your feeling here but I’m sorry but knowing I wouldn’t be based in Atlanta any longer was a great incentive to leave…
