This is a good move (the only move) for republic. I was not surprised at all. Maybe we will see MKE-SNA, MKE-ANC or MKE-MSY. Airtran needs to start MKE_MIA next fall. It would also be nice for Airtran to keep SAN year round. I would like to see WN start MKE-OAK. As I may be moving to the Bay area soon the BART fair from SFO to east bay is expensive.
