AirTran Airways (NYSE:AAI), the Orlando-based discount carrier saw $5 to 6 million of revenue evaporate because of the winter storms that pounded parts of the country since the beginning of the year. According to the HeraldTribune.com, AirTran canceled over 1,400 flights over an eight-to-10-week period. That is more than it canceled over an 11-month period last year.
AirTran's first-quarter capacity will be up only 6 percent, a lower projection than the 7 percent to 8 percent increase the airline had been expecting. For the year, however, AirTran plans to increase capacity 3 percent to 4 percent.

AirTran Airways has recently announced that it has reached an agreement with its dispatchers, represented by Transport Workers Union, on a 48 month contract. The company has to still work through its pilot, and flight attendant contracts, according to the Jesup & Lamont report from Benzinga.
While the Jesup & Lamont report estimates AirTran Holdings, Inc. to make a loss of $0.15 per share in the first-quarter, the company can move to a positive earnings if the pricing is better than expectations. This would also hinge on the company securing an agreement with both the pilots and flight attenants.
