Midwest
SYXDUDE
"Midwest Express Airlines announced on April 10th, 2001 that the Boeing 717-200 aircraft had been selected to replace the aging fleet of DC-9-14/15/32 aircraft that it currently operated. The originally letter of intent was for 20 firm aircraft with 30 options, but was adjusted to the current order status of 25 firm aircraft with 25 options, with a value of approximately $750 million, which does not include the $14 million investment by the airline for seats, galleys and other required equipment. Midwests 717s will carry 88 passengers in the standard Midwest configuration of two-by-two leather seating."
My question to you is how much faster do you expect them to grow. I think that their current delivery rate is down to one aircraft every 3 months. Money doesn't grow on trees. They can only grow so quick, or they'll end up like some of the other airlines that tried growing to quickly.
Jetflyer one of the terms of the Delta contract is that they don't compete.
Wouldn't it be funny if 10-20 years from now Midwest Airlines was one of the top 10 airlines in the U.S. Companies grow, and Midwest Airlines will probably grow more than it would have with the help of Skyway's codeshare with Delta. Then Midwest could be one of the airlines that helps put the final nail in the coffin for Delta. Anything is possible.
I also think every airline in the U.S. and even international airlines that fly to the U.S. are competitors of Delta. It's all flying Delta COULD be doing.
When you make statements like that you make people wonder......And wonder and wonder.

I think a codeshare with northwest would be a nice idea.
