It should probably go somewhere else, Not here. Frontier is waving goodbye. Maybe Mike may have some suggestions.

Agreed. I guess the most logical places would be either the FL, WN, DL or Midwest U.S. Destinations forums.

I agree it doesn't really fit here anymore, but I'm not sure where it really does, either.

The AirTran board's days are numbered, so we'll be in the same circumstances not terribly far down the road. Plus Milwaukee seems to be the first large AirTran station where Southwest is mostly taking over anyway.

The Southwest board has a lot to talk about, and I haven't really see it be a defacto board for any airport. Looking at the last month of boardings I've seen (February 2012), MKE was 20th in the combined FL + WN traffic.

Were there threads on the Southwest board for places like BWI, OAK and HOU, a Milwaukee thread might fit in. But I suspect it would be largely unused and quickly buried and forgotten. Things like MKE market share threads are likely even more beside the point of what WN FT'ers are interested in.

Anything posted in the Southwest forum gets buried pretty quickly due to the large volume of activity there.

It's welcome to stay here for the time being, even with F9's withdrawal. It would probably make sense in TravelBuzz, but I don't know if everyone wants to hang out there to keep it bumped. F9 discussion here is likely to go down given a lot of us are MKE based, so it should be pretty easy to keep the thread from being buried.

Actually, if it were not for MKE discussion the F9 board would be almost blank.

Just like it was prior to the YX acquisition.

I wonder if Talkboard would consider a board devoted to threads about airports?

Does that make any sense?

Sounds like a good idea to me.

I agree. The current ones are scattered around a bit, instead of them all in one place. It would help put everything in one place instead of having to search around.

I will forward a request...

Would it make sense here: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/midwest-455/

MKE named one of the 8 best alternative airports in US by INC.

http://www.inc.com/ss/abigail-tracy/...orts-america#7

More recognition of MKE comes from CNN, which selected MKE as having one of "14 airport amenities that will make you long for a layover."
http://www.cnn.com/2012/06/18/travel...html?hpt=tr_c1

It was fun playing on the ping-pong table during lunch. :D

INC. is a little late. "64 unique destinations?" No longer.
