I wouldn't include the overbooking portion as part of the suit. It's not only airtran that does, all the airlines do it. By law they are allowed to. Only if your bumped (meaning you didn't have a seat when you checked in and you're ultimately denied boarding) do they compensate. Other than that good luck on the suit, if Airtran states in their contract of carriage (or whatever their passenger bill of rights state) that they are supposed to give you some form of compensation, then they should definitely pay up. But check their rules first on misconnections before persuing the suit.
