Yeah, I forgot about all of the costs associated with the "Midwest Class" seating.

I'm not too concerned about the money spent on Sabre if Midwest has intentions of getting larger aircraft that would have mixed seating.

However, all of the money being spent to promote "Midwest Class" seems a little ridiculous now given that 16 of the planes that were to have the mixed seating options will be removed from the fleet. Perhaps something else is in the works...
