You could move USA3000's ORD operation to MKE (maybe a few to MDW) and it would give F9 access to some Carribean destinations and increase their presence on the East coast.
Funny I mentioned this about a year ago, because it looks like this is what may be happening. I've heard that F9 will be getting at least 2 of USA3000's A320s, and with the increased flying they will be doing for them this winter, I think it still is a good match.
