I don't think this is correct. I received a PM from another Airtran fan timed stamped at 8:22 AM* asking me if I was planning on taking the last flight and expressing disappointment that neither Biz or WAG Biz seats were available. Therewere no WGA fare availible at that time on any ATL-TPA flight that day. There are a few now although FL 1 shows Biz and WGA "Sold Out" although the other flights that day only show WGA "Not Available"
I'm not sure why but time stamps on FT are usually 2 or 3 hours earlier that actual time. I am posting this about 11:30 EDT. If that hold the PM i got was actually sent at 5:22 EDT>

Biz was unavailable via the web as of 615am & 730am Central Daylight Time Monday. I sent the PM shortly after the 3rd failed try after I got to work.
I assumed at the time that Biz was/is blocked for VIPs. Good or bad, that's how our country works. I'll keep checking "just in case", and will certainly get over it regardless
I'm not going to ride "in the back"; I can do that on Southwest

Since you apparently have access to the passenger list and know everyone it were the seats only made available to people inside Southwest?

With all due respect who cares. I have no bone in this, but WN has the right to do with these seats as it pleases; sell them, give them away to vendors, give them as a perk to employees, whatever. As Hillary once so weakly stated, "What does it matter"

That contradicts both your original post that said Biz seats were available until 11, my observation that by 7:30 AM the seats were unavailable and steved5480's observation that they were gone by 6:15 AM.

Would any of you be interested in a "do" at ATL before the departure of the last AirTran flight? I will not be purchasing a ticket on FL1 but might fly down to ATL to meet some of you all and see the flight off at the gate. I'm a former AirTran employee (who did not stick around to work for Southwest) so I probably already know some of you!
Mrs. Wahooflyer will be 8 months pregnant on 12/28 so I don't want to go all the way to TPA. Otherwise I would totally buy a coach seat and join you all (who knows, Gary Kelly could be sitting in 31E?)

I booked a ticket using points. It wasn't cheap. I definitely think a do is in order. Perhaps the wn folks can show us some luv.

I have independant plans to be in Tampa on 12/28 and would love to attend a "do" at TPA.
Anyone interested in greeting "THE LAST FLIGHT"?
I'm not sure how to get WN or TPA to assist.

Greeting the last flight.
I have recently determined that I will be in Tampa on December 28th. I didn't have any plans to fly the last flight, but I wonder if there will be a meet up when it arrives in Tampa.
If so I'm in.

Id be best if this was dropped because honestly what is the point except you trying to prove something wrong that is not wrong.

Sadly, I had to cancel my trip. The flight is sold out. Another FTer will be taking my place.

How many FTers will be on this final flight? As we are nearing the date, does anyone know if there will be any festivities planned for the flight or the Airport?

I suspect most passengers will be employees. I know one Southwest employee (former Airtran) who will be on it. He tells me something is planned for the departure from Atlanta but not anything for the termination in Tampa.
