Times are tight. The old days of Midwest are gone. I think that Midwest will pull out of some of these smaller markets (in northern WI) and scale back on long haul flights. MKE-SEA will be May – October (like SFO). I think MKE-LAX is fine (help, I know little about LAX, I hate LAX and never fly there again). Some east coast routs may see more RJ service as well.
