Working For Airtran

[skyguy25]

Would you jump the ship at USAirways and suggest to our employees to come to AirTran?(FA's that is) What is the rumor of the new contract for FA's? And new destinations that will be served with the 737?

The agreement voted down a year ago had a top-pay increase of over 50% (from 4 years to 15 years) and many other improvements. We're hoping the new contract will be similar but, of course, better. The 737s will allow nonstop service anywhere in North America but no new cities until 2005. The usual ones mentioned: PHX, SEA, SAT, PDX, STL, SJU, etc., etc. We probably work longer days and have shorter layovers than many are used to but after only 2 1/2 years I'm holding a 3-on, 4-off 91 hour line....not too bad! Reserve is less than six months.

I would, the stability of AirTran is good enough for me.
