Wow. I just used it while flying out of Milwaukee a few days ago.

Airtran is truly a trashy airline. I flew business and had to wipe bread-crumbs off of my seat.

I actually kind of like Airtran. Cheap biz class, satellite radio. Bread crumbs don't set me off.

Honestly, I've only ever seen that when they're rushing to get people boarded because of delays. Most of the time the planes are clean.

I think this qualifies as one of those First World Problems....
