Like Joanna said, ATA is not AirTran. Both airlines still fly. Southwest did enter into a codeshare agreement with ATA at Chicago Midway, Houston Hobby, Las Vegas, Oakland, and Phoenix.
I have not flown AirTran as they don't fly overseas and I am always trying to earn miles for trips. However, I would have no qualms flying them.
