I think I read somewhere the MKG people preferred ORD over MKE. Probably because the connection possibilities are endless compared to MKE. Don't get me wrong, I was sad to see MKG, RHI and CWA get dumped by YX. But if the economics are not there, then it doesn't make sense to continue to lose money on a route.... even if it was an EAS route. Plus you have people calling it a fleecing of America and pointing fingers everywhere that it is a waste of money. Sometimes even blaming the airline for flying the route. If Republic brings back CWA - MKE I think that route can make money. Also, I think RHI - MKE seasonal would work too. But Great Lakes flies that right now and I don't see YX flying MKE - RHI as long as it is being serviced by another airline.
