I wholeheartedly agree. The war in DEN shows no signs of slowing down, while at MKE they are seeing signs of progress. The drops of PIT, OMA, and IND should be a sign that WN does not wish to compete on small routes where F9 can place a few daily ERJs and hopefully flourish. There isn't a lot of traffic on those routes but with consistant nonstop service they should be able to control the O/D market. Multiple hubs allow them to diversify and spread the load accross the system instead of having a single point of failure.
