Not going to happen, folks...especially with the trouble they are dealing with vacating the base now. Seriously, AirTran?! Who pulled THAT out of their butt LoL

what trouble are you talking about?

What trouble? I jumpseat airTran every week and this is news to me. Also remember they're short staffed and one of the hand full of carriers turning a profit all while directly competeing with DAL and SWA. That's impressive in my book.

It was just announced. Skywest flying 5 CRJ-200s for AirTran, based in MKE...

AirTran Airways - Press Release

Can someone explain exactly whats going on? From the press release it sounds like they won't be acting as an AirTran feeder, but moreso a standalone Skywest Airlines branded operation flying in support of, and sharing profits/losses, with AirTran.

LOL, I know. :D

The funniest part is how many people KNEW there was no way this would happen.

It's "at risk" flying, so essentially it's a code share

Man, I hate being wrong... /:(
