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.

Will you guys hurry and strike it, so even these idiots will get the hint.
To them, unless it is struck work... it's ok to step over your cold dead body to get to their shiny 70 pax jet at 50 seat pay. Same arguement TSA had with Gojets and Eagle not too long ago... in their eyes, as long as they were not crossing a picket line, they were not stealing job or working conditions away.
