In 2005 I took a positive space ride into MKE and rented a car rather than go standby through ORD. I actually made it to the interview, while 2 of those going through ORD did not. I got the job; I also learned that the Ford Focus doesn't perform well in 4" of snow on US 41.

Yeah it sucks, but what are you gonna do if you really want the job? Your profile shows you as an RJ FO...just jumpsteat to Appleton on NWA, Delta, UAL or Midwest like dozens of others have for the interview.
