I'd focus on the last sentence. Midwest put replacement jets, literally, online and parked all their MD's + 16 (or all 25 now to Mexicana?) of the 717's.
I'm 0 for 2 with W/O carriers. When things are good, they help the margin a bunch. When times are bad, they are the ones that can get downsized, or shut down all together, quite easily.
