What it all really reads to me is that things will go as status quo, which is what most people (in Milwaukee) want. Sure the 2X2 seats will be gone, but we'll still have a hometown airline we can call our own.
You do not know that. I think that Milwaukee missed a great opportunity to have an airport that is more than a regional airport. I am still going to have to drive to Chicago to get a reasonable fair to the west coast. I am sick of having to do that. This is a shining example of the Milwaukee inferiority complex.
