Ata And Wn Code Share

[wwtraveler99]

I think you will see ATA drop service from MDW to SFO-MDW only,SEA,PHX-MDW only,LAS,TPA(st.pete),MCO,FLL and PHL and let LUV run the routes. I also see LUV taking over LGA service if the slot rules alow it dropping 5 LGA-IND for 5 LGA-BWI. if not I still see ATA dropping 5 LGA-IND and run 5 LGA-BWI with the code share and all the conections out of BWI. SFO service moved to OAK. And have all ATA HAWAII flights codeshare and connections out of OAK,PHX,LAX and move the HNL-SEA flight to LAS for better codeshare and connections....NOT WW but S4Lmaybe

I'm not sure I'd put too much stock (so to speak) in the share price of ATAHQ.PK given that those shares will probably be cancelled as part of the bankruptcy reorganization. I'm actually shocked that they spiked up to nearly $3 when it was announced that Southwest had won the bid, but I suspect that the reminders issued by the company of the ultimate value of the shares brought them back down.

Just to throw some additional info into the ring, ATA currently flies large jets non-stop domestically from MDW to BOS, CLT, DFW, DEN, FLL, RSW, LAS, LAX, MIA, MSP, LGA, EWR, MCO, PHL, PHX, PIT, SFO, SJU, SRQ, SEA, PIE, and DCA. They've already announced that CLT and MIA are closing, and it's unlikely that they'll duplicate WN's service to FLL (5 daily), LAS (10 daily), LAX (6 daily), MCO (7 daily), PHL (5 daily), or SEA (3 daily). Southwest also will have 6 dailies to TPA, so I think PIE (and maybe SRQ) is out. That leaves BOS, DFW, DEN, RSW, MSP, LGA, EWR, PIT, SJU, and DCA -- and if you exclude SJU, that gives you nine cities.

It will certainly be fascinating to see exactly how all this plays out -- and this could certainly cause some disruption to legacy carrier pricing in the SWA/ATA codeshare cities.

If PIE is closed, I hope it's not too soon. I have a ticket on ATA to PIE on January 23.

You should be OK. The press release touting the deal's approval states that codesharing will begin in Feb.
