Sounds good

Wow. In 8000+ posts you couldn't find the time to ask hundreds here who would gladly regale you in the shortcomings of the Midwest business model. Instead, you play it off and attack likeitis. It sounds like someone was a few credits short in the humanities and business areas.

OK lets have the answers, how could Midwest have been saved. Also how come the pilots did not buy the airline if they had the ideas that would save it?

Even if the 400 YX pilots had had a plan, who would have invested the half BILLION dollars it finally took to get the BOD to give up control? It took Texas Pacific Group and NWA combined to do that and they lost most of that. Configuring a new fleet of airplanes with so few seats that the breakeven load factor was about 110% did not help either. The pilot leadership showed little aggressiveness to change the management also. Plenty of blame to go around.
