There are many pilots driving from Wisconsin to MDW. You can even sit reserve at home if you don't live too far north. Traffic can be a PITA in the late afternoon, I-294 and I-55 get busy. MKE is also a good place to non-rev on SWA, as we have many flights out of that airport, however, we do not serve MKE/MDW. You will for the most part be driving to MDW as already mentioned trips originate out domiciles and there will be no trips that start with a MDW-MKE deadhead.
