Air Tran could possibly change the use of one of their other slots to fly more often to MKE.
Hmmm, if that's the case it's a bit tough. DCA slots are hard to come by and AirTran has few. I think they only have 6 flights/day to ATL, and I doubt they'd want to pull any of those back. I think they have a single DCA-Ft. Meyers flight, and I'm not sure it operates year round. They might want to cancel that -- or only run it in peak winter season (the slooow time to MKE), and use the slot to go to MKE 2x daily. I guess we'll see how serious AirTran is of making MKE a focus city/hub.
