ATA Airlines shuts down in wake of Chapter 11 filing - MarketWatch

How incredibly sad. I swear, this industry is so unpredictable.

seriously, aviation is so flip=flop...was shopping and there was a 'mens' rest area and CNN was on, and heard they shut/grounded flights...craziness...

Yeah, I drive by their headquarters every day on my way to work and I knew something bad was going down when I passed it and the cops were blocking the drive.

Lots of people out of jobs.... Skybus just went bye bye too...

yea, i really liked ATA...used them all the time back in the day between MKE, MCO and PHX.

it's too bad GO! had to be a backbreaker for both Aloha and ATA.

Hawaii travel is going to get really expensive now! hold onto your non-rev hats if you even think of traveling out there on standby!
