Yesterday Midwest was just a paint job. Today its a fading paint job. Tomorrow it will be gone, and all will be better off.

(BTW, Midwest Chocolate Chip Cookies would have a good ring to it, and would bring the thoughts of good ol' midwestern home cooking.)

There's no reason to keep the Midwest name. The airline no longer reflects what the Midwest name was built on. (and hasn't been for some time)
