Are you guys owned by NWA? I thought they bought you to avoid a hostile takeover by Airtran? If so do you guys have any rights to employment at NWA/Delta?
Good luck!

While hiring Republic to fly 12 EMB-170s to replace those 16 returned 717s. So the new fleet for "Midwest" is planned for:
9 717
12 EMB-170 (Republic)
12 CRJ-200 (SkyWest)
Ground services are already contracted out at MKE and almost all outstations. Midwest Connect RJ flying is all contracted. I think this very well may be the first attempt to run an airline with just an HQ and the rest contractors.
