Remember that the next time you sit on a "saver service" flight or even better on a Beech 1900 on Midwest.
Just because YX "resembles little of its past" does not relegate it to the ranks of "average."
The attitude of the staff at the counter, gate, on the phone, in the club and in the air is far more customer oriented than
any other airline. In-flight service is substantially better . . . on my regular flights between BOS and MKE, there are not 1, not 2, but
3 beverage services on a flight lasting less than 2 hours. And while you may pay for the food, it's far superior than any other airline's BOB meal and actually
worth what you pay for it.
The Signature Service configuration means that there's never any gate checked baggage; you can board whenever you want on a full flight and find overhead space. And while you state that
"In many cases to many destinations you will experience Midwest’s “Saver Service”," the number of Saver flights is a small
fraction of the number of Signature flights.
Please dispense with the hyperbole and stick to the facts here. Midwest has been consistently top rated both by those within the industry
and its customers.
After earning status on AA, US and CO over the last 5 years, YX continues to be my first choice for domestic travel, schedules and destinations permitting.
