I was reading the diatribe that Chris Gains posted from what was it USA Today, until I got to the part about how we survived with a couple of carriers that have gone chapter 7. He includes TWA in this which is of course not true. After that I assumed the author didn't really have a clue and quit reading.

AirTran, now didn't that use to be ValueJet. I seem to remember that they bought some little commuter named AirTran, changed their name and hoped people would forget who they really were. I guess the public really is clueless on alot of things. Yeah, I really want to ride on those guys to LHR. Right. Jet Blue, now would someone once and for all tell us if Air Bus is really letting them fly their jets for free with no lease payments, I have heard nothing to dispell that rumour as of now. Southwest, what a great company, but they are essentially a short haul cattle car.
