Expect more holding for EWR

I left flying to go to ATC in 84. Only 4 in my class of 20 passed the screen in OKC. I ended up working at LA TRACON for 6 months as an ATA and then got back into flying. Washing out of the academy was the best thing that ever happened to me (though I was devastated at the time). What was sad was guys with families walked away from good jobs to go through the screening process thinking it was a good shot at a good career. Other classes had much better pass rates. Our instructors didn't work too hard to get us through or really seem to care.
Flying was definitely my back up plan and it worked out for me… more than half of my graduating class are completely out of aviation… oh well… you pay your money and take your chances.
 
It should be noted that the LUV CAK campaign was from late 2012, when the airline was "converting" service from AirTran routes to their brand.

They ceased service at Akron-Canton in 2017 (3X dailys to Atlanta). In retrospect, the whole "LUV CAK" thing seems like yet another example of how the airline was a disrespectful position to whatever AirTran was, other than a source of production inputs.

At least they didn’t try that in Little Rock…
