SW buys AirTran


Curious about Chet’s thoughts on this, given his discussions of airlines in general and Southwest in particular.

It’s a big expansion for SW. Having flown both airlines a fair amount, I think there will be some integration pain. AirTran does the nickle-and-dime routine - charging to pick a seat, get on early (to claim precious overhead bin space), check bags - while Southwest has aggressively avoided those sorts of fees. Still, getting to fly Southwest to Atlanta would be nice.
