ATA Airlines Bankrupt too. NO FLIGHTS

[erin]

Does anyone know if there is another airline that allows pets to fly in the cabin going from the mainland to Hawaii? I was under the impression that ATA was the only one, and had planned to use them to move my cats out this summer.

You can use This website to find out pet regulations for all the airlines.

Use the drop down feature to locate airline.

I noticed, according to that website, that Hawaiian doesn't even allow cats to fly from Sacramento or Phoenix from April 15th to October 15th:
For your pet's safety, Hawaiian has implemented the following restrictions on animal travel due to potential high temperatures which may affect the health of your pet.
Pets included in this embargo: All warm blooded live animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits

Best of luck

What I'd like to know is what happens to the Aloha airlines suit against Go airlines scheduled for this October? Do they continue and try to collect $80 million from Go like Hawaiian did...or is that a mute point at this stage.

Aloha is trying to sell the lawsuit according to the PBN.

Our friend was leaving for Kauai - tomorrow - ATA - not happening now![V]

Used ATA in Jan. - flight was canceled - we were rebooked for a flight the next morning - stayed overnight at airport hotel - our $350.00 ticket each roundtrip; ended up costing about $500. NOW $500.00 roundtrip would be a bargin - most flights are $500 ONE-WAY![V]

ATA appeased those bumped overnight by giving out complimentary roundtrip tickets - I now have two available for WALLPAPER![!]

Gee, and I thought it would be banks failing!

Damon, the article you gave the link for on Delta and Northwest bankruptcy was dated March 30, 2007. Both of them exited bankruptcy within a few months of that article and even posted some profitable quarters before fuel prices went through the roof.

Just to put all this airline news into perspective, over the past ten years or so, several economists and other researchers have gone over the financials of past, present, and defunct carriers. What was their consensus finding? There has never been any overall profit in the entire history of the US airline industry. There have been multiple mergers, bankruptcy reorganizations, liquidations, government bailouts, and favorable regulatory measures, but never any profits for the industry as a whole. Southwest Airlines in recent years has been the only consistently profitable airline, and they follow a business and route model radically different from the rest. No one with any sense makes long-term investments in airline companies. Some speculators have managed to make some short-term gains, often with inside information about mergers or lucrative new foreign routes.

Not a pretty picture.

Cheers,
Jerry

Agreed


Air liners are just fuel tanks with wings, the fuel they burn is where the profit has always been (oil companies)


follow the money

About Herb Kelleher & Southwest, http://positivesharing.com/2003/01/book-review-nuts/ , they have a very different take on things compared to most of the other airlines. I read this book a few years ago, and found it very interesting.

Look at Table 3 & 7

Thanks for the tables...

I found table 8, 12 & 16 interesting.

From those tables, it doesn't look like MESA is going anywhere soon!

Our visitor from Chicago was also leaving tomorrow on ATA from Hilo. Everything is gone from the airport, they left no word with any other airline, and the tickets are not being honored. Boy are we having fun today! By the time you type in info, the flights are sold out!
At this time, there is NO info on wether there will be any reimbursement....(probably not) or return on credit card charges, also the trip insurance is not honored, as this is a bankruptcy. What fun we are having!
