Reduction in flying for SKW out of MKE was known well before the decision to park the MD-80s, and I don't think the two are related other than that both are for fuel. We lost a total of 4 lines for July (not too bad for losing 2 aircraft).

I actually don't think the grounding of the MD-80s will hurt us much in MKE. 717s will have to be shifted around to keep a couple of markets, which may actually lead to an increase in CRJ flying. Throw us a couple turns to DCA and BOS, and it frees up a 717 to maintain a MD-80 market.
