AirTran Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: AAI - News), today announced that it intends to offer, subject to market and other conditions, $65 million of Convertible Senior Notes due 2015 (the "Notes"). AirTran intends to grant the underwriters of the Notes offering a 30-day option to purchase an additional $9,750,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes, solely to cover over allotments, if any.
Sorry to say but this is a desperate measure to try to quickly raise cash to continue to operate... translation? Airtran is on the ropes and needs either 1) CASH or 2) an immediate merger partner.
I predict, within the next 4 weeks, the next 2 airlines to file for BK protection are Airtran and Spirit... in no particular order.

ps- not reveling in this guys... it's a rough time for all of us and a merger or BK is just around the corner for all of our companies at the current pace.
