Is there such a thing as 'Airtran Cargo'?
I was curious to see whether there was a "cargo" version of the AirTran Web site that might give me more detailed flight logistics information (kind of like unitedcargo.com or aacargo.com).
A quick Google search finds a page at http://www.airtran.com/programs/airtran_cargo.aspx which directs me to www.airtrancargo.com to learn more.
But www.airtrancargo.com is a spam domain owned by a typo squatter.
According to the old versions of the site maintained at archive.org, in 2006 airtrancargo.com let you track a shipment if you knew its waybill number; in 2007 it had a pretty slick interface (http://web.archive.org/web/200711071...trancargo.com/), while copies saved in 2008 (http://web.archive.org/web/200803131...trancargo.com/) looked a little more bare-bones.
What happened to the site?

As far as I know, AirTran no longer carries cargo (as of late 2007/early 2008 IIRC). Hence why airtrancargo.com doesn't work.
