Go for Midwest Express! Being from Milwaukee, we fly ME most of the time, schedule permitting. Their service is great! It's hard to beat fresh, baked on board choc. chip cookies or a nice glass of wine with your steak, using real silverware, ex. for the knife and a cloth napkin. Status means nothing since the whole plane is "first class". Their FF program, although with limited partners, is fine. With frequent travel on ME you earn "Frequent Flyer Plus" status which gets you a 50% bonus on miles flown as well as a few other FF mile redemtion benefits. As mentioned earlier, the biggest downside of ME especially on weekends, is their limited schedule.
