Are the 3 737's that an overseas carrier couldn't afford to operate this summer back on AAI property?

Maybe someone bought the 717s??

Maybe someone bought the 717s??

Unlikely.

Orphan airplane no one wants unless it's at less than half its market value for any other equivalent airframe... a la "Click" (Mexicana).

Hmmm . . . . We just raised a bunch of cash, and now have about $500 mil sitting around . . . . that's a lot of dough right now, even after they pay for my signing bonus and big raise.

Some turboprop and/or 50 seat feed into MKE might be good "strategery", what with SWA coming in . . . . We'd be tapping markets outside of their reach, getting pax booked on us, instead of them . . . problem is that the cost of acquiring those pax would be pretty damned high, after chauferring them into MKE. . . . . . sounds like things will get pretty interesting.

Skywest is not flying for Midwest anymore---Skywest to fly out of MKE for AT to alot of same cities that Republic goes to in the midwest. Wonder how much money Skywest gave AT? Guess we will know soon.

I believe they have to have all furlough guys back on property,???

as for nose under the tent- AT already tried RJ's w/ air wisconsin in 2002-2003- but the runs would be replaced with mainline planes all the time.
