ATA's not giving up--increased MSP/MDW, new FNT/IND service

Many FlyerTalkers believe NW’s motivation behind the IND focus city is to force ATA to end scheduled service. Well, ATA’s not giving up -- instead, they're expanding further into NW's home turf:

(effective February 4)

MDW/MSP increases to eight daily flights each-way:

ATA Connection begins IND/FNT service:

(*it's interesting that TZ's walk-up fare from FNT to MDW or IND is $301, vs. $95 or $104, respectively, on WN from DTW)
