MKE-LGA looks to me to be capacity saturated with this addition. I don't see how anyone can make a buck on the route with this amount of capacity, especially in winter

I agree, but at least F9 has the advantage of having the lowest costs on the route (well as soon as AirTran costs match WN). I think the 2x daily is enough to keep business travelers decent on the route without the massive overcapacity they had last year (3xA319). We'll see, but I hate to see them bow down to DL on yet another route.
