Formerly flew privately out of MSN but relocated to DC/NoVa about two years ago. Sometimes I lurk on Flightaware to see where my old flying club's aircraft have been going. Today I saw Southwest Flight 8308 from PDX to MSN? Apparently, it was the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater's football team returning from their Division III football playoff game against Willamette College in Salem, OR. I didn't know SWA did college charters? How common is this for the majors?
I worked on the ramp at Wisconsin Aviation while earning my private in the late 1990s and I remember the UW and other Big Ten football teams would get USA Jet and other lesser-known companies for their charters. I don't recall seeing Northwest, Midwest or other airlines doing those runs.
