Mainline service on MKE-LGA starting in November 2015. Any other routes?
Well I found out that Delta is finally putting mainline service on MKE-LGA starting in November starting with one of the flights on a Boeing 717. It still has five flights listed as I would've thought that 717 flight would make it so that route would cut down to only four daily flights.
I was suspecting that LGA would be cutting down some flights sometime from the RJ's to mainlines to avoid a lot of delays currently at LGA. So if I can take a guess the remaining 15 or so 717's being delivered to Delta will be used to replace many of the RJ flights that currently overuse LGA?

IIRC, use it (80%) or lose it provisions have been proposed but not enacted. But, no, it's hard to imagine DL won't operate something, especially in peak season/days of the week.
