Yes, and once again Tim Hoeksema is enjoying his lagoon pool on his multi-square foot spread in Florida....Is he thanking the loyal YX employees who got dumped or the loyal Wisconsin customers? Doubt it. His greed and vanity prevented him from selling "his" airline to FL, which would have made MKE its Midwestern hub. Instead he sold the airline to NW and some financiers from Texas who only wanted to make a buck on the next sale. NW wrote off the "investment" as bad debt almost immediately -- after all, their sole purpose in entering into the transaction was to block FL -- and the Texans moved on to other things. The result: Milwaukee again becomes a transportation backwater. Thanks again, Tim!
