It's three years later...and watching this video still brings tears to my eyes. ATA was more than an AMAZING company to work for--I miss my family. God bless you all, wherever you are.
They were my favorite airline. The people who worked for that airline were so nice. ATA (American Trans Air) was an inexpensive airline, too. :( I LOVE YOU ATA!!!!
Thanks for including a couple C8 Saabs. I was a C8'er until they did away w/ us in 2005. Sad to see how big and little ATA were in 2001 and to see it fall the way it did several years later
The first time i ever took a flight anywhere was by myself from London to Detroit in 1996, it cost £99 return and it was with this airline, never heard of them until then. Good flight, remember it well.
ATA laid off hundreds of mechanics and outsourced its maintenance to unqualified and understaffed repair stations under the banner of saving costs. They went belly up anyway. Good riddance!
Wow. I used to fly everywhere on ata. I blame southwest.

this is nowhere near as good without the audio, is there anyway it can be put back?

@DFDureiko1 there was a copyright violation, I finally re-added audio to the video [not the same songs] but I think it still works out

Finally I think I've fixed the kinks. RIP ATA. This video is dedicated to the 2300+ employees who lost their jobs on April 3, 2008.
