As long as I can get EQM's on all YX flights, I am a happy camper!

The real question for people ex MKE is how are the fare prices holding up with all these changes?

Now if only they'd offer reciprocal club access. I grant that there is a WC in MKE but when flying Midwest its in the wrong wing.

Do we know for sure if EQS/EQMs can now be earned by flying Midwest with this new agreement?

I thought that the reciprocal club agreements had some sort of 'settlement' arrangement that would negate this issue. From what I understood each club totals up its visitors from the other network and at some point they compare and whichever one is higher pays some sort of fee.

Drat - thought of one more thing - does Midwest have a priority check-in and if so, can we use it now?
I'm flying them for the first time pretty soon.

I didn't think that YX had a first class cabin until I looked at their MD-80 seatmaps. Turns out that those aircraft have 3 rows each.

I'm from MKE and in the old days YX was amazing. YX always had 2-across first class/leather seats, full meals in coach (we're talking steak, lobster, shrimp, prime rib etc)...then only their Signature service offered 2x2 leather with BOB meals, while some planes were saver service w/ 2x3 regular coach seats with extra legroom...Effective May 2008, all planes will have 3 rows of first class and the rest 2x3 regular coach seats but you still get the free chocolate chip cookie in-flight.
