Huge capacity cuts are coming one way or another. In this basket trade I am fully expecting at least 2 90% losses, but believe they will be more than overcome from the upside to the survivors. If, as I suspect, oil and jet fuel spreads give up a moderate portion of their current levels, the upside i...More

Air Tran is suffering like all of the airlines. More consolidation and layoffs for the industry, only the financially strong will survive.

AirTran has one of the youngest fleets in the industry,


and its service has improved greatly over the past 5 years or so. They are the easiest airline to deal with , as far as their policies, fees, etc. are concerned, and do not have the extensive 'phone tree' that you are stuck with in the major airlines. I am a travel agent, and it seems that almost every time I need a special accommodation for my client they are anxious to work with me. That goes a long way towards my attitude in what airline I recommend to my clients. On the other hand, USAir is among the most difficult to deal with, and charges the highest periphal fees. When a client wants us to ticket a more difficult airline we tell them about the differences and then let them make the decision.

The company is becoming more profitable by streamlining and by charging passengers for extra baggages.
