thread_title:  criticism of name change from ValuJet to AirTran 

message: ValuJet Airlines was not renamed to AirTran Airlines and then AirTran Airways. Heres what happened, there were two airlines owned by the same holding company called AirTran, the original- AirTran Airways and the second one- AirTran Airlines which was formerly ValuJet Airlines. AirTran Airways and AirTran Airlines was combined under one operating certificate, but it has been assumed for a long time that AirTran Airways was merged into AirTran Airlines and then AirTran Airlines was renamed to AirTran Airways. No, that's not what happened. AirTran Airlines was merged into AirTran Airways. The original AirTran airline- AirTran Airways, was the surviving airline while the second AirTran airline- AirTran Airlines (formerly ValuJet Airlines), was not the surviving airline. So the ValuJet Airlines accidents should be removed from the accidents table or state these accidents did not happen with the airline, but these accidents did have an affect with AirTran Airways. Yes, the AirTran management was the ValuJet management, but ValuJet Airlines did not survive the merger. ValuJet Airlines was merged into AirTran Airways when it was known as AirTran Airlines. I do have a bunch of references to back that up.Granthew (talk) 03:32, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
