Hmm...

- Since when the heck is it faster to fly westbound than eastbound?
- What kind of A319s is Northwest using?
- By the way, MKE-LAS is a 1500 mile flight. Even the SEA-MSP redeye (little traffic, 1400 mile flight) needs about 2 hours and 45 minutes of time in the air...
- Methinks Northwest has some explaining to do...
- I wonder if passengers who have booked this flight have any recourse once they realize they aren't going to make it to Las Vegas anywhere near the scheduled arrival time.
