Only 8 days till this current offer expires. I hope they just let it die then rather than extending the offer again.
They have invested too much into this thing to let it go, and they really need MKE. I think that they will extend it and no one knows how much stock they have now. If they persist they could pull this thing off although I think that their chances of sucess are 25%.
Plus I am mad at Midwest again for not adding more flights to SEA and SFO. Their planes are filling up already and they are not adding additional flights. If you won't grow to meet customer demands step aside and let someone else do it.
And where is MKE-SAN?
Excuses like the MD-80's need a lot of maintence, we do not have enough long range planes and we are ordering new planes are getting old. Airtran has new planes. They have the youngest all boeing fleet.
Midwest needs to step up or step aside.
