I'll miss PIT too. But frankly I'll bet it won't be down as much as people say. They are pulling flights but I think it'll be mostly mainline flights.
I don't see MKE happening unless we were to get some United flying again, something which I think is a possibility, but only longer term.
I do think there is a real chance that Mesa could really collapse and with it would come a feeding frenzy for their flying.
I had an Air Midwest (Mesa) captain on the jumpseat a few weeks ago CLT-PIT and he was saying that he is being junior manned all the time and they are paying Double Time, not just Time-and-a-Half. He was happy to do it, earning something like $130/hour to fly a Beyotch 1900.
Anyway.....
