Midwest Express has said in interviews that a plane with 3+3 seating reduced to 3+2 is not optimal. That leaves the 717 as the only plane still made that fits. They did say that they would not rule out the 3+3 planes.

Going to 3+3 on an narrowbody would negate the major attraction of Midwest Express, that of seat width. To me, seat width is nearly as important as seat pitch. Economize service if you have to, but keep the 2+2 on the narrowbodies please!
