Goodbye Museair, Critter, Wasatch, Amtran, and now Citrus. You're all Southwest now. :-:
Captain of Airtran 1 was a J7 pilot. Many of the crew were former J7 as well. (while a few non-rev bookings existed this might actually enter the record books as most profitable FL flight ever flown per seat mile as fares were not low at any point)
You have to admit Airtran grew up a lot from it's J7 roots. To one of the safest, most on-time and better at bags despite the rapid growth.
I'd love to see Southwest match Airtran's AQR record.
