ATL still has an extremely low O & D traffic, there is a much more efficent way of moving the pax...and I would expect DL to start doing it sooner rather than later.

Love it or hate it, ATL moves more people and airplanes than any airport in the world, everyday. Sometimes it seems like barely controlled chaos, but it works.
It's like Wal-Mart vs Target. Walmart does waaayyy more movement of product quantities and people through the store. Makes more $. I would rather shop at Target. ATL is the Walmart of airports. Denver is more the Target type. Come to think of it, Maybe swa and ATL is a good match.....

Move the traffic through better positioned and underutilized hubs.

They've already started.

Now back on topic. Will ground comm in ATL be "SWA XXXX, Citrus Colors" or "SWA XXXX, AirTran Colors"? I like the first, but it could be confused with "Citrus Colored", which would have people looking for an orange airplane. In a couple years they will be orange, but for now they are still white.

Can any AT guys that had October class dates chime in with any news? Class still scheduled? How about the September class that just started?
