In other words, Midwest pilots were NOT furloughed as a DIRECT result of the Skyway/SkyWest flying. The same cannot be said for the RAH flying.
No exaggeration, just facts.
Actually, now I do remember that some Midex legs were covered by the CRJ. SAT and AUS(?) were turned from Midwest stations into Skyway (the renouned ground handling company that it is) ones and all the employees were rehired at a "Skyway" rate. The planes would actually "feed" MCI. I think there were MKE-MCI legs, too.
