I'm amazed YX has made it as long as they have. It's a nice little airline, but

- Business model out of whack with reality...
- Too small a base market...
- Too few flights...
- Too close to ORD/MDW...

It makes perfect sense for NW to get ahead of the 'pack' when MKE becomes IND 'North'. If/When YX dies I also would not be surprised to see WN and/or B6 jump on some gates at Mitchell field.
