Default Great Name Recognition For AirTran!

Friday, April 11, 2008 - 1:52 PM EDT
Frontier Airlines files for bankruptcy

The Business Journal of the Greater Triad Area



Frontier Airline Holdings Inc. joined the recent list of carrier bankruptcies yesterday in filing for Chapter 11 reorganization.
Skybus, AirTran and Aloha airlines have all filed for bankruptcy in recent weeks.
"This action followed an unexpected attempt by Frontier's principal credit card processor to substantially increase a 'hold-back' of customer receipts, which threatened to severely impact Frontier's liquidity," the company said in a press release.
The airline said in the release that it plans to continue normal business operations throughout its reorganization process.

Hole crap! AirTran went bankrupt!

What a bunch of goofballs - guess "fact checking" is a lost art!?...

AirTran's stock was down 34.5%, all in the last couple hours of trading.

Don't know what's going on with that, it's a huge move.

We are closing the doors! Yep, I just heard it from my best friends, uncles, next door neighbors, babysitters, brother. He took a flying lesson back in '01 and really knows his stuff about the industry.

Buy stock and quit thinking the sky is falling. We ain't going anywhere.

Seriously.............................

Off my soapbox.
