Remember that FL did have a "tryout" with RJ's that failed, even the state of Florida under Gov. Jeb Bush had "guaranteed" some of that operation.I think they'd be hesitant to go the Q400 route.But as DL turns into the thing it's becoming, I say go AirTran!
From what I've read, the turboprops are much more efficient at carrying 30-50 pax than RJ's, so maybe that wouldn't be such a drain. I'd just like SOME kind of local entree into FL's network. But, I do believe MCO and/or BWI flights and maybe NYC flights too, could work here. If they do connections out of MKE to SEA, etc. I could see a route to MKE working, too. People who live in this metro are from all over the US, and they all have family to visit, too...
