As far as Bob Fornaro(not Saprano, sounds like you something against Italians) was never fired from NWA but you beloved timmy was and guess who
was the one who fired him. You guessed it Leonard. Nice try though.

Hoeksema worked for Kimberly Clark prior to becoming president of Midwest Express. He joined Kimberly Clark in 1969 as a first officer in the air transportation department. Five years later, he was promoted to chief pilot and then to director in 1977. In 1983, he became president of Midwest Express.
He's currently 61. That means for nearly 40 years he's been with KC or YX. Before then he was in school. When did he work for Northwest? What position did he hold?

Is this really true?

Lets just not talk about Airtran anymore. Your obsessing over this more than anyone else. All I am suggesting is that we keep the discussion at a non personal level. Let's try not and attack individuals. I love a spirited discussion but lets keep it more engaging and less confrontational.

Yeah, Midwest has not announced that that service will be back in 2008. I heard that their were a lot of problems with that route (meaning delays). You'd think MKE-SFO would be profitable. The bay area is both a leisure destination and a business destination. It is home to 7 million people. Maybe Skybus would do MKE-OAK or VA MKE-SFO who knows. United would never ever do MKE-SFO.
