2) Some of our trips begin or end with a deadhead from MKE-MCI or MCI-MKE. Commuters love this because they only have to commute one way, and they get paid for the deadhead that they don't have to take.
3) We have a lot of long (ie 23 hour) MCI overnights, so you can always just go home for the night.
4) There is still a chance we could open an MCI domicile, although I can see it going senior just based on how people were talking.
Just thought you would be interested!
Thanks - Really appreciate the post and the info. Would be a great deal. Skywest would be a great place.
