I saw something odd today. N500LJ replacing their usual aircraft.
Since this isn't a Pentastar aircraft this could get horribly expensive to sub aircraft.

The inner baggage claim roadway is now open to parking lot & hotel shuttles, Coach USA & Badger Buses, etc. It appears the final bit of roadwork is being done on the outer roadway.
Anyone know what the construction project is next to Gate C17, across from Chili's and the business center? There is a walled off area there but no signage indicating what's going in there.

Airtran and later Southwest use C17 as an extra CS counter during extreme Irops when staffing allows.
AA will join US on D sometime after that project is complete. Maybe some temporary US moves during that construction as it probably will impact the seating area near 52 and 56. I assume that plugging the hole will be a permanent design as there's plenty of ground boarding potential on the lower of D.

MKE traffic down 45.2% since 2011
The downtrend obviously greatly related to mergers/acquisitions in the industry.

MKE had the third greatest decline among the airports studied.

Communities from Milwaukee and Cleveland in the Midwest to Memphis, Tenn., and Newport News, Va., in the South complain they no longer have enough air service. The Justice Department is investigating whether airlines colluded to shrink flight schedules in unison so they could boost prices. American, Delta, United and Southwest all say they have done nothing illegal.

From what I know DL was going to take over most of the YX/F9 flights besides the ones going to DEN. But due to two large DL hubs (DTW and MSP) having flights from MKE less than an hour there was no need for DL to expand at MKE. This is also why Delta closed its former hub at MEM due to ATL so close. And because of all the merging going on, airports like MKE see deep declines.

I wonder how much of that was from up gauging. I can't remember the last time being on a CR2. Been on a lot of 717s and CR9s lately.

DL is flying more, WN less than FL/WN combined. Both are often flying larger aircraft than before.
