Interesting, although, I dont really think a smart choice, now that they are going up against the largest carrier in IND, NW, let alone DL, WN, and umm, for the time being ATA.

No offense, Chris, but Air Tran can top Northwest.
I think this is a smart move. I have noticed Air Tran trying to squeeze in where ATA 'was.'

And still is. Neverthless, didn't expect that. Damn FL, quit bugging DL at ATL and start bugging AA at DFW! Plenty of gate space there .

It's good to see the return to Indy, as the last time Indy was a station was back in the Valujet days. When you consider that DL is the only airline on the ATL-IND route currently, this makes sense; as for MCO-IND, this could work out fairly well considering the small number of flights (6 flights, 4 by TZ, and 1 each by WN and NW) on the route currently.

It is good to return to IND for FL. It will consider some of better more new routes to ATL & MCO. Hopefully, still will able to work out is good on those routes.

Keep in mind that ATA and WN are in that market....
