Given some comments from AirTran executives in recent months about wanting to grow/build the more traditional business routes from MKE, I thoughts we'd see PHL, CLT, DTW(FNT), HOU, or SAT.
For the leisure side, MIA, RDU, and/or SJU (less than daily) are all bigger than MSY and SRQ, especially during peak periods.
There is still plenty of time in the next few years for AirTran, Frontier or both to add any of the above routes (except PHL and RDU for Frontier).
