Upgrade from E135 to E145
--All remaining flights to GRR, BNA, STL, CLE
--Two of three FNT, GRB
--STL is decreasing from 3x to 2x but will be all E145
--FNT morning flight moves to a business-better 9:00am, and the two PM flights upgrade to E145
--CLE upgrades to E145
--1x additional flight upgraded from E135 to E145 to GRR, GRB, DAY, BNA
The only E135 flying left are 2x each to RHI, MBL and IND, and 1x each to FNT, GRB and DSM.
It's sad to see yet another round of cutbacks in MKE.
Since Republic began restoring the former Midwest network, we've seen BDL, RDU, ATL, SDF, SFO, and LAX come and go. It appears as if CUN is not returning, either.
I was wondering when ATW would be cut. Given that Frontier added DEN-GRB service there was really no need to serve two airports in the same general area. For whatever reason, that route seems to have fallen apart over the last few years.
How many flights will MKE have on peak days come September? It would be interesting to see how much they've cut back in DEN and MCI this fall as well.
