Knope your logic and facts are twisted to suit your premise that premium seating does not matter.

The fact is that many customers have walked from Midwest, they won't be back to pay Midwest's high fares, for care that is far from best, but rather pedestrian. As Midwest has shrunk the diehards are left to pay that RASM premium

A paltry two percent gain in market share in September is not significant, nor indicative of a trend. Just as your worship Brian Bedford said at the 3Q earnings , MIdwest's share of MKE flights has fallen from 60%to 33%. While BB would like to recapture this market it is doubtful particularly with premium prices for a non-premiuim product.
