Midwest ungetting new aircrafts

[labbats]

This is bad. I send my best to all involved.

A spokesman for the union that represents Midwest Airlines pilots says the airline has informed the union that it plans to stop flying its older, less fuel efficient MD-80 fleet. In addition, the airline is planning to slash jobs.

I think any place with orders will be unordering if fuel stays up here.

Oh.. We didn't have aircraft orders...

Just our blinding, unwavering faith in chocolate chip cookies.

So glad Midwest kept that Evil Airtran from coming into MKE!!! Oh wait, I wonder is Airtran will now grow even more out of here since they have airplanes that can actually fly to LA and Florida.

I have many friends at Midwest and was "furloughed" from Skyway in April.

Thanks Tim for all your great work!

You, my friend, are a ******************************bag. AirTran is possibly furloughing it own. They're cutting capacity from this summer by 20%!

Still nothing on YXNet, what a class lazy mofo we have leading the ship.

We can reinvent our airline to one that will be able to compete in the new
energy economy. As many airlines restructure incrementally, we will be
among the first to dramatically reshape our airline to respond to a
reshaped world. The actions we take today will enable us to make Midwest
Airlines the airline of tomorrow. We will be lean, strong and well
positioned for future growth. All airlines will eventually need to take the
painful, necessary steps that are required to survive in this industry
environment.

A quote from Timmy.



Sweet Lord Almighty. Maybe it's good I'm getting furloughed. I'm gonna smoke some weed and try to get as high as Timmy is.
