AirTran failed to meet evacuation requirements for 717

[trs717]

Since you refuse to tell me and everyone else here your relationship to Sean Baker, I have nothing else to add on a subject.

I would suggest that you redirect all this effort that you're wasting on a bias website toward getting counseling. May be it would help you move on with your life, like the rest of the unfortunate folks did.

Bottom line....ValuJet is gone.

AirTran has a great relationship with FAA, investors, and public. Our flights are full, our employees are happy, our balance sheet is one of the strongest in the industry. I see about 400-500 smiling faces exiting my airplane every day. And I do everything in my power to keep them smiling and coming back to us. On a couple occasions a month I run into people like you, who refuse to reason. But since you represent such a minority, not only in aviation, but in total human population, arguing with you would be a waist of my time.

Regards...

I have been accused of everything short of being a witch in an attempt for people to deflect any blame from AirTran, which seems to be par for course with blaming contractor.

That said, this is definitely the most ridiculous:

I couldn't even find the passenger in question on the passenger list from CNN, which claims to be the full list from ValuJet. The list contains 109 names. Additionally, a google search for "sean baker" valujet has 0 hits.

Anyway, that's not exactly surprising; it's not the first time that you've presented inaccurate information in this thread although it's a really unusual way to make an exit to avoid being humiliated again -- especially given this result!

It's sort of amazing how trs717's source is exactly as credible as I'd expect for his information.

His whole accusation is a total eye-roller if I've ever seen one.

That definition was copied and pasted directly from a dictionary. And the libel is definately not a moot point according to Tad Hutcheson of AirTran, who I just spoke with last week. Let's just say that he (and AirTran's legal department) were already well aware of the misinformation on this site before we had our discussion. If at some point in the future all the errors abruptly disappear at once, I just want everyone to know the reason so that dbaker can't claim the sudden new-found clarity as his own

Of course nothing may ever change here, AirTran may feel as if their record numbers and our clarifications speak for themselves and don't warrant any further action. I suspect that is the case. Free speech is a tremendous right worth shedding blood to preserve, yet libel is a trecherous evil worth shedding blood to eradicate
