    I was very happy that Air Tran posted a profit for 2005. Guess the combination of the 717 & the 737-700 is a perfect mix of aircraft.

    Frontier - Airbus only (posted a loss)
    Jetblue - Airbus & small amount of EMB-190's (posted a loss)
    Southwest - A variety mix of 737 aircraft (posted a nice profit.)

    heard about UA this mornign as i worked OPS. glad to hear it... also heard about the Bombardier news today too. somewhat glad about that, would have been bad news fro them.
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.
