Any thoughts on this, I don't know how this would work though since MKG isn't subsidized by EAS. Any thoughts? It's still a shame, it would have been nice to eliminate midday flight to MKG and just have the morning and late night flight tagged onto FNT. I guess this won't be happening. Wishful thinking.
There were talks, however when Great Lakes announced they had been awarded Ironwood and Manistee, they said they were not going to code-share and would instead fly as ZK. Midwest handles them in Milwaukee, but there is no code share and does not appear to be one on the horizon.
Great Lakes bid Ironwood as a 1-stop service, with a stop in Rhinelander. However their bid for Manistee was for nonstop service. So they could not add a Muskegon stop unless they petitioned the DoT for a change, something that the local Manistee community might fight.
