MSY to MDW/ORD Commute?

[BigEasy]

Just curious to know how the commute is from MSY to MDW/ORD? Looks like I can take SW(1 or 2 stops) to MDW or perhaps AA,UAL to ORD.

Airtran is available via ATL. I jump sat on them once and they were great. SW has also treated me great the times I have used them.

Any ideas? I start class on Monday for ATA in Indy. Wouldn't need to start jumpin for about 2 months.

Thanks

How many jumpers can get on Airtran, UAL, AA?

Congrats on getting hired. Love your city. We almost moved there late last year, but I just didn't want to commute, so we moved to Chicago. SWA has no non-stops, if you take UA or AA to ORD you have to take the train (two trains really) to MDW. As you probably know, SWA will take as many ATA jumpseaters as they can fit in the back of the plane. SWA been bery bery good to us. Airtran lets the first jumpseater on free, but if I am not mistaken, they charge additional jumpseaters $25. That may not be accurate any longer, I don't commute so I don't keep too up to date on jumpseat issues.
