Good deal for us cheeseheads. Now the real question is, what happens if AirTran acquires Midwest?

 

[MYFpilot]

I hear they have already hired the first two stews....

Can you say Paso Robles? What about Houston?

I knew that you could!

 

[The_Russian]

The bigger they are, the harder they fall.

 

[SpyFlysDOTs]

Can you say 5 year contract?

 

[Oakum_Boy]

Wisconsinites are very odd indeed. I thought I had landed on a different planet.

How's the surf on Lake Michigan? I've seen some pics of some good looking waves (minus the snow of course).

The surf is better in Cali. but its way too expensive here, so MKE here I come.

Hahaha Nobody Cares! waves that sounds good, you got anymore news on that huge swell HI on tues!

 

[Avi8tor2000]

Anybody know the destinations the will be flying to in the CRJ out of MKE?

The difference is that PRB was close enough to SMX and SBP that those guys didn't have to move halfway across the country when it closed. IAH I agree with you.

First two citys are MSP and EWR.

Good old Sewark!

Arent those previously served cities by midwest? I thought it was going to be all new cities? just curious

Oh and Sewark Sucks but its good for making money. I had my last trip we were going EWR-BDL blocked at 1 hour but it is 28 minute flight. When we blocked in finally it was 3.1!! Gotta love the freak snow showers in EWR.

Yes those are both cities that are/were served by both the Dornier (Skyway) and Midwest 717's.

I smell a NWA+DAL merger.

I smell a NWA+DAL merger.

And just what does that have to do with SkyWest flying for Midwest?

Didn't hear anything about the Skywest destinations yet, but yes, both EWR and MSP are currently served by the 717.

I know they are trying to free up some of the 717 flying for some new destinations, they announced Seattle/Tacoma today.

Also, I agree with you, EWR sucks but the revenue is great.

Did you guys see any CRJ in Midwest colors yet? I think it will look sharp

Oh and welcome to Milwaukee guys.

 

[Going2Baja]

And what does that smell like?

It smells the same as the smell coming out of my daughter diaper or the smell escaping from my dogs a$$......

BTW - THe surf in Sheboygan isn't to bad 5 days a year but it can be COLD!!

Baja.

and you have Johnsonville there too....

 

[FlyWolf]

This is a 100% rumor, but I have heard that PIT and SAT might also be a Skywest destinations.

 

[EX_CV580FR8Dawg]

Wolf...besides PDX and SLC what other destinations out west would you suspect as being credible for MEH?

 

[SKYWRJGUY]

Mitch:

Thanks for moving out--hell, I'd be number four as it stands; if I didn't have a place here already I'd do the MSN-MKE shuffle...

MC for Chief Pilot (course that means no LAX commute).

 

[MarineGrunt]

Question on the bidding - is there any priority difference between transfers and transitions? i.e. - If a bro guy senior to me is bidding aircraft transition and MKE base, will he get awarded before someone who is already on the CRJ bidding transfer? Probably a stupid question, but thought I'd ask...

 

[arthompson]

When you guys get to MKE you have to check out the Landmark, and well the Airport Lounge (I think thats the name of the place).
