Best wishes to all who's lives depended upon ATA.

Unfortunately ATA won't be the last.

A Democrat won't provide a miraculous fix...not that I want this to turn into a political discussion.

Ehh.. nevermind.

ATA was a great company. It's sad to see them go.

Truly a sad time for the industry, saw the story on the news this morning...

Please keep in mind, this is not a Rep. or Dem. issue...Remember the politicians oath..."If it's not broke, we'll fix it until it is."

Need to read about Reaganomics then. Might actually learn something instead of just spouting off. Republican thought leans toward big business. Maybe it's just time they agree to up the prices all together.. oh wait they can't that's illegal because of a democratic law. Doesn't really affect much they can still do it and claim they didn't have any knowledge of the other's pricing plan. I'd rather see a flat ticket price including any fuel surcharges than nickle and dime list with bag fees etc. Makes me feel like I'd be riding on skybus. They'll be gone this year too I'm willing to bet.

I was hoping to see their L-1011s flying around
