Dear Joe,

As leaders of the Labor Organizations and Agent Councils that speak for AirTran Crew Members, we stand behind you in our joint objective to merge with Midwest Airlines. The common cultures and entrepreneurial spirit that are at the core of both airlines provide a foundation for a nation-wide low fare airline offering long-term secure work opportunities for all of us.

We would welcome the opportunity to meet with our counterparts at Midwest Airlines, and to stand together to help make this merger a reality. We want to help and be a part of the successful effort to make this happen.

  Sincerely,
