I think Skybus could have an effect on Midwest if they start focus cities in MCI and MKE, and MKE could be very possible
No doubt they will fill the planes at the prices I see on their website. But from what I hear, they will nickle and dime you on everything. They are using A319 Aircraft, so I can't imagine it being too cramped either. Way better than a CRJ. My only question is their use of secondary airports.... Most business travelers won't fly to them if they are located too far from their final destination. That would also add to the cost of travel. Should be interesting to see how it goes. I wish Skybus the best of luck in their new business adventure.
