Based on this AP article, Chicago was it's hub up until a month ago. It also says there that the majority of their flights were between Hawaii and four West Coast cities- luckily this didn't happen at the same time as Aloha's crash, otherwise teams REALLY might've gotten stuck.

My guess is that not many teams were flying to Atlanta on ATA, if any are at all, based on the small size and location of their operation when they filed for bankruptcy. Don't quote me on it though.
