What are ATA's domiciles? Which ones are senior, junior? Thanks.

MDW, IND, LAX, SFO

MDW is most junior, then IND

atopsdave,
It looks like you already read about the roadshow. You made a post right after it in the "ATA Pool" thread on the majors page.

If you recieved a postcard in Feb. are you considered in the pool for whenever interviews start again?

Heard from a guy, who heard from a guy, who's was told by George M's pet fish (you know how it goes) that an announcement either way on the 717's should come soon. If the order goes through, it means good things in the near future. If no order, then expect some assets to be sold, which means our little airline will probably be for sale. Hope the 717 purchase goes through.

It would probably be better if they sold us off anyway and we just did codeshare with them

I don't know where some of this info is coming from, but most of it is bs. I was just at the company road show about the financial state of the company. They said "we can not shrink this company to profitability" we will be keeping the Saab 340's and the 737's. The 717's are in addition to the current fleet, the only difference is we put off the rest of the orders for 737's and replaced them with 717's. THAT IS FUTURE ORDERS FOR THE 737.

Basically the company wants us to maintain status quo for two years so we can free up money, and help out our credit rating.

We should have an answer by the 10th of May. Updates to follow.

Any good news come from the road show about plans for expansion such as cities and another hub
