Come back, AirTran
With new aircraft delivered and on order, AirTran is looking to expand to new cities, and using a novel approach: potential passengers may vote for the new destinations. Greensboro is notably absent from the list and one might wonder how deep-seated is the resentment toward PTI after our airport embraced the now-defunct Independence Air.
AirTran left soon after Independence arrived. Showing that they may forgive and forget, Knoxville, abandoned at the same time as Greensboro, has made the list. Is our Airport Authority striving to bring AirTran back and restore some semblance of reason to the exorbitant ticket prices in Greensboro, or should passengers start a write-in campaign in the hope AirTran will notice us?

Let me get this straight: AirTran left of their own accord because they couldn't handle competition. And Greensboro needs their forgiveness why?
