I have little faith in Midwest's ability to grow. They are playing the PR card but it it really bad. Although the people of southeastern WI are stupid enough to eat up everything that they say. If this was Chicago or Minneapolis we would not be having this discussion because people in those areas know the importance of a large airport.
