Great plan so far by Midwest misManagement. Brand new 717's flying with 88 seats. 50 seat RJ's for new growth. Yeah, best care in the air, ......in a RJ? Whatever. Now the code share. I remember when NW was a sworn enemy at MKE. This looks like a desperate measure to fend off the AirTran wolves at the gate.

Sometimes inaction is worse than the wrong action. Too little, too late. I know how I will vote on this upcoming board election.

So long Uncle Timmy.
