Those of you who know of me know me as a loyal UA flyer. For a while, though, I succumbed to the insistance of my travel agent, and flew AirTran. (IAD to Midway).

My Monday flight was always a minimum of 30-45 minutes late, and my Thursday afternoon flight home ... well, let's just put it this way. The last 3 weeks with Airtran, I left the office at 2:30 for a 2:30 flight, without calling first, and never missed my flight.
