8 gates does not equate to a midwest hub. AirTran has that many gates in Baltimore. Northwest has a considerable presence in Indy. I don't think AirTran has the stomach to go up against Northwest again. Could be wrong, but considering the thumping AirTran just took from Northwest outbidding AirTran for Midwest they may just look further west for opportunities. Not sure what the outcome will be. However, I imagine AirTran will have to inform Boeing on their intent for those 737 orders for 2008 real soon.8 gates at the new terminal in IND. There's your midwest hub.
you guys think the doj will require northwest/midwest to give up some mke gates due to their arragement...controlling 70% of the market share doesnt seem too fair....
Just because NWA outbid AAI for MEH, doesn't mean that they can "thump" us on an opreratinal basis. AAI 717s versus NWA DC-9s on the same routes from IND will probably do very well. Oh, and the 737s, even better.I don't think AirTran has the stomach to go up against Northwest again.
