New markets from PDX
They mention PDX-MKE.
What else will AS try from PDX?

PDX-MKE wouldn't surprise me one bit and sounds like a perfect E175 route. AS has been having success with the route from SEA and now with WN pulling SEA-MKE they will have the route to themselves. It's more likely they will add additional capacity to MKE by adding PDX-MKE.
Agree that PDX-DEN needs to come back, this huge hole in the AS network.

I figure sea-Mke will increare capacity either an up gauge or 2x daily or both . Seems like adding nonstop from pdx would be the most unlikely option to add capacity to Mke :/
I'm all for it though. Still waiting for that Mke mini hub
.....acquire SY and move it to Mke

Done that many times and sometimes the flight is 7 minutes. I guess if you like to gamble and fly American eagle into and out of ohare have at it. They're almost always late or delayed or worse and they're understaffed at Mke

same way they did when AS added PDX-MSP? Actually, I don't think DL even blinked. I doubt this would draw a large response from DL at all to be honest.

First choices: PDX-DEN, PDX-PHL, and maybe an alternate day PDX-MSY. Wish list, of course.

MKE's largest airline is Southwest. Every one else has a few flights a day from hubs. Have flown in on every major carrier. It would take traffic away from PDX - ORD, but I'm not sure where AS is on capacity of that. I know they've driven fares down in that market. I do think there's some demand - the SEA -MKE flight has been full the 10 or so times I've flown it.
