AirTran "pool"
 
Anybody in the "pool" heard any news lately? I tried sending an e-mail to HR but haven't heard a word. Do we stand a chance getting a class date anytime soon?

You hope not.... If you have a job at all, dont consider airtran. This is a terrible place to work. If you got a class date tomorrow you would be an f/o forever. F/o pay sucks, the company sucks, Atlanta sucks, the lines suck, the hotels suck. Did I miss anything? I have hoped for years someone would come buy this ****ty company. It hasn't happened. I see self help or some type of chaos strike in the future. Dont waste your time with this place.

Good question. I sent an email too, but haven't heard anything either. Any AT guys see hope for the poolies anytime soon?

All the kids on the street have been sent letters to come back last we heard. New hires in spring is also the word. Have not heard of any numbers as of yet but things are moving forward. We had a class of recalls and upgrades last month and another this month. Hope that helps.

Anyone run the #'s to see how much the company saved?

WOW, Airtran is always been great whenever my wife and I fly to Pitts. I guess that has more to do with the professionalism of the crews. I didnt realize some were disgruntled, they hide it very well, ( I guss we all do:D), weve never had a single flight on citrus that was not enjoyable...

What does riding as a passenger have to do with working for the place? Walmart is a great place to shop, but I wouldnt want to work there.
