Thumbs down

Are you guys owned by NWA? I thought they bought you to avoid a hostile takeover by Airtran? If so do you guys have any rights to employment at NWA/Delta?

Good luck!

9 717
12 EMB-170 (Republic)
12 CRJ-200 (SkyWest)

Ground services are already contracted out at MKE and almost all outstations. Midwest Connect RJ flying is all contracted. I think this very well may be the first attempt to run an airline with just an HQ and the rest contractors.

The dominos have been tipped.....
