Thanks again for posting, knope. No surprise that there's no press release.

Delta still has a strong following in Milwaukee, dating back to the NW days. Perhaps, as F9 and FL/WN (eventually) scale back, there will be fewer nonstops. I think there might be some people who instead default back to DL, and for a variety of reasons. Maybe they have mileage balances to add to, they want to fly mainline, they are elite and want the upgrades, etc.

Anyway, because of the NW history (and the old Republic/North Central days before that), I'm not surprised that DL is still the strongest mainline carrier in Milwaukee these days.

For the past few years, we on this board have wondered who would be the first to "blink" at MKE. Looks like it's F9, although I suspect that WN/FL won't be far behind.
