I wanted to post on that AirTran ad myself, as a follow up to the "Wicked Crabs" debacle of last year, but my picture was all blurry. Damn these people and their decent cameras!

That photo was actually a pretty apt description of an Air Tran flight I took to Los Angeles in May, severe turbulence from somewhere above western Maryland to somewhere above New Mexico (though an extremely smooth descent and landing through the layer of cloud covering the LA Basin). Granted, it certainly wasn't their fault it was so bumpy, they brought the plane up to 40,000 feet and still couldn't avoid it (the pilot kept coming on to apologize about the bumpiness).. I sometimes get a bit nervous flying, when I got off in LA I noticed that my hands were purple and swollen.
