“I would also like to express our gratitude to the executives and our fellow employees who helped shape AirTran into one of the most admired and successful airlines in America. We could not have reached this day without the vision of Mr. Bob Fornaro and the other members of our corporate leadership team, or the hard work of our pilots and all of the employees of AirTran Airways.”
